Do they know as they graze

Emerald's sweet meadow

As innocent eyed calves suckle

Pearly filled teats

 

Do they know as their hooves

Kiss the ground one peck in staccato time

 

Are their wings burdened with

Memories of what was or

What is to become

 

Do flourishing roots in their prime

Whither with knowledge of impending doom?

 

I want to live oblivious

to loss.

 

I want to die oblivious

to life.

Knifelike and wrenching.... the despair is palpable and made me ache.

[Little Whisper]

Oh my gosh... You got it!... It made me ache too. I'm sooo sorry ... I did not want to make you ache. ( But.... thank you for getting it) Please don't ache.

Ache... joy... loss... love... these are real, and when the writing is real it is an honor to be made to feel... it was a pleasure reading & experiencing.

[Little Whisper]

Thank you for your wise words. :)

It is beyond beautiful. It is insightful. It is human condition. To know is what we think we want yet it terrifies and interferes with our ability to live life fully present. Give me oblivion any old day! l am going to come up with an oblivion pill to make us forget past and future. It will make us rich, I tell ya...then we can go live on that secluded island and... Wait...i think they already make that ...i think its called heroin .Great Write my friend!
