Eternal Dawn

Breath goes Subtly

In the stillness of night

Softly and easily

A death without a fight

What a joy it is

To so ignorantly go

What an ease it brings

To die and not even know

When wind blows east

Then pauses in the west

Then we are deceased 

Then we are at rest

Devoid of earthly cares

Gone are all our woes

No dreams no nightmares

Everything just goes

Then we are one with silence

When we cease to exist

No need for direction and guidance

In this sleep we can't resist

And as the living mourn

Because now we are gone

Never to see the morn

Enraptured by an eternal dawn

An ode to death, not in sad way but simply to the point. Says much in favor of the author for this calm and tranquil presentation of a topic most would find unnerving --and succedes in bringing ease to the reader. I really like the rhyme and metering in this, and especially the play on meanings of mourn and morn. Nice poem!

I like this! Emotional and it has a fun rhyme scheme.

I enjoyed the lyricism, short lines and exquisite content in this! Well done! A spiritual haven of eternal dawn, sounds rather agreeable to me.

Photo and words were amazing. You told a story of a journey we must all take and try to know some kind of peace.

Oh wow, this is amazing. I truely enjoyed reading this. It's also very deep. I love the message. Imagery is nice. And I agree with what you've mentioned in this piece. It would be nice to die peacefully - an ease... without knowing... this actually makes me wonder about death.. because really, it's all a mystery ... we won't know till we get there. lol.
