Time Of Death

Life’s moments are grains of sand

In the hourglass of the human spirit,

If you allow those grains

To slip through your fingers

They become the dirt

You will be buried beneath.

If you do not cry

Your soul will dry up,

To deny love

In fear of heartache

Is a self-made heart attack,

When you choose

Not to laugh

At the little things

Is like wearing

The Grim Reaper’s face.

My many attempts

To inspire you

Was my way

To revive you,

But your vital signs

Tell me it’s too late…

So with regret

I will call it,

 

“Time of death, the moment you took your first breath.”

Is funny because many are walking dead now a days. There is no regard for love, for feelings and respect for human life. Life is too short and we need to embrace the beauty it offers, live and love.

Ho right you are... thank you again.

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

Good poem. My fav part:
My many attempts
To inspire you
Was my way
To revive you,
But your vital signs
Tell me it’s too late…

Your welcome. :)

[Helen Crutchett]

Plenty of things to really think about in this amazing poem. I liked it a lot.

Good work! and yes.....We are dying from when we were born. Sobering thought that! How can one not make the most of the precious life we have been given.

Only fools would squander the days!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are so correct about fools. Thank you Helena.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

hmmm... fantastic... simply fantastic... Your gift is amazing!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you ever so kindly.

Damn, this is well written. It struck me as more lyrics than a poem though, like they should have been sung and not spoken.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you so much… funny you say that cause writing lyrics for my band was my first attempts at creative writing.

[Norah]

This poem is beyond amazing. Indeed, it is one of the best poems i have ever read! I truly loved it, excellent job :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Wow thank you so much, I am beyond flattered.

[Ashira Macy]

Wow, this was incredible! The final line would have knocked my socks off if I had been wearing any. The whole thing was tied together perfectly, and you never once strayed from your point. We have to live and grasp at every moment, otherwise it can't really be called living. Faved!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Awe shucks, thank you very much. Your praise has made me blush.

[KAREN]

Some people just don't know how to live. Your poem was spot on, and I just love how it ended. Great write!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

[KAREN]
