Death

please just read.

The news came as shock

My heart went cold

I wanted to push my luck

Not to believe what I was told.

 

How seeing someone turned past

Togetherness become moment

Minute ago now last

End to a particular merriment.

 

Death is the reason

Comes with no time

Might be day, night even season

Born with nothing die with no dime.

I've thought about.....even ruminated about it....and I've decided that I don't want to die..
Dying is what Ali did and now look? Even those who despised him in life, want to carry his
casket in death. The uncertainty of it doesn't really bother me. Just the sound or silence my
death may or may not give off........That's pretty scary stuff.........

nice poem. dana

Beautifully said by the previous poster, It truly cannot be measured in dimes, the treasure which lies far beyond. The poem is short but sweet, and should make us all appreciate the time we have left with one another. Good work...

a very true and deep piece...maybe death is a next step and maybe what we do take with us cannot be measured in dimes...anyways, a great work :)

I think this piece holds much truth!
We don't know when death seeks and conquers
what we do know is it will most definitely come to
us all:( the leading cause of death is living, you covered
that in this piece, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
