Lessons

A Poem by The ArK

The dusks whispered to me that-

death is darker than the moonless sky,

and colder than the winter nights.

 

The days taught me that-

birth is brighter than the infant sun,

and warmer than his lustrous rays.

 

I died countless times,

resurrected and started again.

But the life between them remained untaught.

This poem illustrates the sentiments written in your profile about simple/complex. You’ve done a great job of selecting the perfect symbols to show the life observations you convey with many layers hidden but begging to be explored. My favorite part is the expert way you speak of how we fall & get up again, over & over, often missing the abundant lessons that could be gained (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

A good contrast between the feelings experienced at dusk of pending death, coldness and darkness in comparison to the uplifting sun's rays and warmth of morning. Your third stanza, many will be able to relate to. We all have our deepest darkest moments, where we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get on with it. Some people learn from their experiences, others don't. I enjoyed the message in your poem.

That's right. Life should be self taught.
Thanks for the review, Christine.
