Moments

Just some thoughts. I hope you enjoy.

Laying,
my back pressed to the ground
free falling through the clouds
and heavens above
As it steals my breath away
the innocence
the carelessness
of it all

Telling myself to breathe easy
as I choke on the fresh air that pollutes my lungs
Finding wisdom of a lie
Life and Death
Have no rhyme or reason
In these moments before you die
It�s not your life that pass before your eyes
It�s the ones you leave behind

Tender moments of I love you�s
Laughter and tears
Friends you�ve known throughout the years
These are things that you see
life�s important scenes
I am left to believe
maybe
This is a form of heaven

These moments when life
just seemed right
and you really felt alive
Death is not the end
merely a new beginning
of remembering who you were
and what you truly leave behind

moments

Wow Robert, this could have been a inspirational piece, almost like a thought of the day - no more like something to live by, let's say motto for one's life.
Your words amazingly brings peace to my mind, knowing that as you have said so beautifully

Death is not the end
merely a new beginning
of remembering who you were
and what you truly leave behind

Omg, goosebumps - lots of them.
This piece is def going to my favs

oh and btw, great pic, works great with your poem!

Sweet poem. Sounds like thoughts about death. We all see the heavens. They bring hope, escape.

[An Ordinary Woman]

Awwwe.

This is nice, Robert, very nice. I'm at a time in my life when words such as these really impact me in a profound way. Those we leave behind do matter- but where do we go next and what will it involve? Will we still be able to hold our loved ones in thought, or will we simply be asleep ? ... I'm not really asking you, I'm thinking about the possibilities and doors that you've opened with this beautiful and peaceful poem.

:+) Thank you !

These are really beautiful thoughts which gave me something to think about. I see heaven as something that we create for ourselves here... just like some create their own hell, so I agree with you on that score especially... We are all just passing through... so the man sings.I have never been this near death, so I don't really know what those moments are like, but I have heard them discussed much as you have expressed so gracefully here. This is fine work. I like it a lot. Many cheers.

what a great picture...

these words are truly amazing - love the line about choking on fresh air.... fantastic job

[Everything Happens For ..]

oh my.....this poem is inspiring to say the least. Very philsophical but comforting at the same time, usually a hard effect to achieve yet you did so brilliantly.
i was going to pick out a section that I thought was particularly fabulous but found I couldnt just select one because the whole peice was just amazing.
as you are most probably aware, you are immensely talented.
very very well done indeed

thoughts...

I hope so.
But that is the beauty of writing, especially raw.
Sounds threatening to the self, though...
be careful.

This is spectacular, makes you think if you know your last breathes are coming what will travel through my mind, doubts, regrets or satisfaction and peacefulness... your words speak volumes to the soul my friend.

I envy the cultures of the world that celebrate death as an acceptance into another realm, as opposed to mourning it.
To them, it is a beginning, as you say here in this very comforting poem.

Someone close to my family is in the dying process right now, and it is an experience beyond words....when he is alert,
he reminisces and laughs with his memories. I think he has accepted his situation far better than those of us who love him.

This is very well written and hit close to home, Robert.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

An enlightning piece. I love reading your works. This is inspirational. Wonderfully written.


Great write.
