Have You?

Have you ever wondered

where the dead spirits go?

Do they wander to and fro?

Have you ever wondered

if they're lost in another world?

Or are they stuck here nailed like a board?

Have you ever wondered

what it was like to die?

Whether or not your life literally flashed before your eyes?

Have you ever wondered

about their stories of life?

Did the have any kids, and a beautiful wife?

Have you ever wondered

what the last thought was to cross their minds?

Was it sad, happy, or a manifold of kinds?

Have you ever wondered

what it was to be a soldier?

Could it be the respect or that they wanted to lend a helping

shoulder?

Don't you wish to know what it's like?

I wish to take that hike,

but I guess it'll be awhile till I'm down at the bottom of...

My very own Grave.

Author's Note

Everyday I pass by a Graveyard to and from school, and each day I think to myself how these people lived, and why did they die. This poem was just something that popped up today.

Perceptively light, considering the subject that has many, at some point of their dull, boring - maybe even predictably easy lives - thinking of what it would be like... just to lose control and let it all go X

I really like this (: I've always wondered a little about that too. Good Job!

If everyone took the time to reflect on these souls and how they lived, the world might be a better place. 'Interesting write".

A very simple, efficient poem that progresses with a musical cadence. Asking questions with no answers is an effective way to provoke thought, which is exactly what you did. Good write.

This was good. I know what you mean. I wonder what other people's lives are like as well. Good poem. :)
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Lunae, or Cassi,

as it is now. I do wonder a lot what it would be like to die. I also find myself wondering what it would be like to be that person just before death, I would love to find someone to tell me what it is like, but for now I will stick with the eyes....

Regards,

Matthew

I wonder these things all the time actually... I like the portrayals you use and the structure... Great job! I like it!
