Poem Artwork


 

Sorrow places its weary head
upon fresh soil where death's
eternal bed is laid to rest.

Decomposing corpse's stay
in coffins housing memory lane
while loved one's visit...respects are paid.

Physically gone, while souls hover near
they guide and watch
those held so dear.

Life and death are guaranteed
nothing else is as it seems
yet, life and death are guaranteed...

Yes, there are things in life that can't be escaped. There are constants. I expected a philosophical or religious twist to this but instead I appreciated the realism you expressed in it.
Watch out: you're confusing it's (a contraction -- it is) and its (a pronoun referring to an inanimate object). You want its.

Yet people live like they will be young and live forever.
They need to visit a graveyard for a reality check.
Thanks for sharing this ~Z~

Let us not forget Taxes as well as life and death...never been to visit my parents in the cemetary, always thought if I could not get in touch with them wherever I am, then why go to the cemetary...?

Darkest write I had seen from you ~Z~ but glad to see you posting anyway...Peace, Ed & rufuz
