When the Dying Live

spirits speak
through the rich earth 
and dark waters 
they say 

"when the dying began to live
is this not a dreadful end?
for when appreciation of life starts
dose death take their plight to hart ?"

and sounding their echos 
on deaf ears 
to some it inspires and awakens fears
yet never knowing what they hear 
for these are whispers on deaf ears

"when the dying began to live 
is this not a dreadful end?
for when appreciation of life starts
dose death take their plight to hart?"
