Born to Die, Die to Be BornA Poem by J.L. DavenportEither way we live to weather the storms and we do it very well!
Everyone and everything in this world is born and dies
Man woman and child Beast and environment Continually passing through birth and death The breath of life, the last breath, the cycle miraculous and beautiful The elaborate wonders of it all occurring The thought on how and when Is truly grand How though that of all this wealth The environment Having beast and being man How could man reverse the plan? With his ragged and savage insight, his intelligence only ignorance His mind with his hands can damage Like many paints tossed on sheet and called art, unappealing Man can now create breath and take it away Once the throes of death was without pain, without guilt, without shame Once upon a time, I am sure That in death the clouds would glide you into the heavens and the sun would not burn but soothe Now the clouds are gray, the sun is on fire, and we have storms ahead © 2008 J.L.
