The Ride

In death comes the peace that life could not grant

Like a soft autumn rain soothing the pains of our past

The fire has dimed and the glow long forgot

But the smoke carries on where the fire can not

 

This life feels like water flowing fast through my hands

As soon as it's caught it slips through again

It dauntingly puzzles me as to which fate is mine

And tears out my heart leaving scars made by time

 

What will await me when passing from this life

A place made of evil or a sky filled with light

What if nothing exits and gods never found

Our we just another piece of earth going back in the ground

 

What of our loved ones will they forever be gone

Or does anything truly die if in our heart it lives on

I suppose we'll never know, death has its mysteries to hide

But I'm sure when we find out, it will have been a hell of a ride

I think this is one of my fav so far.. Your other poems are great, but this hits a subject that most are afraid of and not willing to admit it and others have just accepted it.. I love the first 2 stanzas and the last line... Very deep and well written poem... Xoxox

That made me chuckle. Very good work :).
