Depression doesn't always befriend death

Death brings tears,
Death is depressing.
Yet it quenches the thirst of peace.
Dying is but an art
I do it exceptionally well.
Death must be so beautiful,
To lie on the soft brown earth,
With the grasses flying over my head,
To forget time,
To hear silence,
To have no tomorrow & no yesterday,
To forgive life....
You could say I have a call.

Your poems gives me chills and so did this one. You are a very versatile poet and I really like it. You are more than amazing! Keep giving us such beautiful poems!

[Onlyme]

Wow, profound, the end. not yet thou! ☺

[justread]

no speech undoubtedly for whatever you wrote...that was amazing!

[NEHA]

Without hesitation these words the ideas are not mine completely, I simply followed Sylvia Plath(my inspirer) who gives another dimension to death other than just a grief or anguish...I combined, edited and changed some sequence to give a look I desire...thank you

[Manel]

a very beautiful poem you just wrote, picturing death in such a beauty and grace wich is far diffrent from the darkness, pain and sruggle that death causes usually on our souls
you gave us a new perspective to this subject great job
keep it up

This was an interesting take on the subject. I liked it. I enjoyed reading it because it flowed well and the thoughts were different than I expected. I never thought how it was to forget time and to listen to silence

Life is a beautiful lie and death is a painful truth - they say. you made death look beautiful in this poem. I especially like these words - i just cant get out of these words. One more superb art of yours. thumbs up.

Yeah...an end that washes away the tomorrows, yesterdays....
Sometimes I guess if someone who already left us could come back and tell us the exact event...I know people will call me humorous but am just keeping thoughts.....
And there you said the indeed....actually every demise of one is sorrowful for someone....but it's not necessary that depression only befriends death!
Great read😊

[NEHA]

Yeah right...but only if we mould our perceptions death feels so peaceful devoid of any mutiny..the Mutiny a life undergoes nearly everyday!

So true spoken Neha!😊
