Dying Words And Victimless Verbs

Words capsize beneath tremulous waves.

Marauders gather; sacraments last rites prayed.

Hope with charity; disillusionment; sinking fast.

Cohesiveness comes undone; life�s lot cast.

Drowning verbiage at last laid unto rest.

Iliad�s drawn from verbatim of hearts behest.

Words succinct now dead litter the open sea.

Resurrection forbade thus the silent plea.

Dying takes care of itself�

J. Allen Wilson � 9/2007

This fills me with a sadness that I can't quite comprehend. Perhaps, it's that in death we are silent, or ...
There is definitely more to this that 'dying words and victimless verbs.'
I know I'll be thinking about this for days to come until I can fully digest its meaning.
