love, life, death, heartbreak, loss
trees, flowers, butterfly, moss
identity, life and grief
writing poems is our relief
Green, gold, gray, old, from thence they pass away.
And from the dawn, the night is cast,
What's due to mortals falls at last.
Ball in the pocket,
Glass eye in the socket,
Ripped abs,
big dabs,
too many fingers in too many pies,
Zac Efron has a glass eye
Death Defeated
The tomb could not hold Him
Death is defeated
The promise of new life is fulfilled
Wandering lonely as a cloud
He saw life, death, springs and fields
Loving lakes greenly
Loving roses redly
And people-
So tenderly
So sadly
Life
Fruitful, robust
Thriving, breathing, living
Family, friends, spirits, entities
Flying, falling, waiting
Eternal, Permanent
Death
Red leaf
with the stars,
falling.
Maroon dusk
crawling.
Twirling last
dance!
Prettier, livelier
than ever
before.
Conceiving himself to be dead,
He leaped like a ghost from his bed.
But finding no wings
Supporting of things,
He fell like a mortal instead.
Life
Short, Sweet
Dreaming, Doing, Being
Breath of a Candle; Endless as Night
Sleeping, Drifting, Floating
Long, Bitter
Death
Wandering Spirits
"Wandering spirits transcend life, death, and the vast unknown"

fall sky littered with leaves red
few young greens kiss empty nest
worn winds heave sighs of lost hope
bidding adieu - laid to rest.
In general it’s always,
Particularly in times of stress,
A good day to die
For the attitude alone
Of the one who actually
Lives forever.
(10/6/25)
Daybreak begins as curtain falls with bitter end--endless silence.

Encountering the Spectre of Death,
She told it to hold its bad breath.
"I shall be leaving,"
The spectre said grieving,
"You shan't share my company, Beth."
“Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.” — George R.R. Martin
crux of life & death
hunting possibilities
beyond the storm
as death is not corruptible, most rich folks confuse to leave good life.
as death is uncorruptible on earth, most rich folks confuse to rest.

If
Life is the prelude to happiness for the righteous
Then
Death is for him the symphony of bliss!

A life cut after time
alive and errors made
and lessons from sisters:
acceptance from Clotho -
a hand in weaving birth;
aware from Lachesis
that life is a wonder.
I
life's tapestry:
neat surface - chaos below -
not Chinese needlepoint
II
in - out; on - off
life, death, light, dark, cycles:
universal tapestry
Peace
safe, hope
loving, caring, yearning
respect, life, death, dread
hurting, scaring, blinding
danger, distaste
Hate
Before it ends, before it shall be yore,
Before the beating hearts shall beat no more;
Before our lives shall fade to what's in store;
Before all this, this moment, let's adore.
I know how the cycles of life, death, and rebirth can be unfair.
I know how it used to feel like they never showed they care.
I know how it feels when nobody at all wants to share.
Who can say when the last bell will chime
Only he knows when the end of time
Most the message won't heed
Some will gather what they need
While I just write some words that rhyme
To Hades, black as ink, our souls shall sink,
And all our lives are gone within a wink!
Yet fleeting! E’er so fleeting! Though it be,
So well we love what leave the Fates decree.
Whatever
I tried.
I cried.
I bleed.
Godspeed.
Haunted heart.
Impart.
Tears fall.
Feel small.
Gave up.
Mucked up.
Reality torn.
Well-worn.
Life; death.
no breath.
