into the unknown

about life and death and living not sure i wrote in haste in 10 mins tell me what you think

the life i knew

its fading too

the people i knew

are going away too

the stories i loved

are all a bore

the parties i never attended

they stopped holding anymore

the clothes i once wore

they sit in my drawer

the restaurants i wanted to go to

they have closed their doors

the only thing that will remain

is the way we love

the way we endure pain

the way we live

the way we forgive

in life its how we are

its who we are

its the sea the waves the cliffs

the sun the moon the stars the 

purple rain

its our destiny

to return to dust

to return to earth

we must we must

its our destiny

to belong to this earth

and grow and yield

and die and cry

for all our loves and

lovers in the purple night sky

I liked the middle stanza the best: clothes, restaurants, parties, other people - all fade or go away. But our lives, loves, and deeds remain with us all our days and sometimes after that. I really liked this. 10 minutes? Great minds don't need much time, just good coffee, apparently.

So many people relate to this, but I totally agree that the last stanza was the most perfectly penned of the entire piece.

The last stanza is golden. The first and second even had their respective moments! But the third is simply wow! Well done!

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

It's about getting older. You know you're getting older when the first thing you look at in the morning paper is the obituary page. I really liked this. Might I suggest a poem I posted here.
A Lifetime. Take care - Dave
