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.”

cowboy, i love the first two lines. Great imagery!

Thank you so very much :)

This a very powerful piece. I especially love the last line. The final line itself gives me chills. The punctuation was a little odd. There were quite a few commas where periods should've been and the flow was a bit back and forth. This was definitely a great read. Thank you for sharing.
