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

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

This is one of my favourite pieces on here - awesome - deeply philosophical and enlightening but also a light and breezy read that puts me in a big, beautiful field looking up at the clouds. Great write.

"In these moments before you die
It's not your life that pass before your eyes
It's the ones you leave behind"

Everything life should be about.

The feeling that you leave me with after reading this is utter bliss. To think that at the end of it all you reflect on the moments that really mattered and the people that meant so much to you along the way is peaceful to think about.

I really love this piece and to hear you read it and to feel the passion you read it with was just wonderful. You capture a thought or feeling so perfectly.

In a perfect world, these perfect moments would come to us all frequently. This poem is a wonderful break from the troubles and strife we have in life, a relaxation to lay back and realise ourselves somewhere else up in the wonderful blue sky and clouds. I like the 'tender moments of I love you's' and the Bob Dylan 'Death is not the End' fits really well. Nice idea to add the title again at the end giving the reader a reflection on what they have read.

These moments when life
just seemed right
and you really felt alive ---These moments are so precious and we pine when they pass away and thus the misery but its better to treasure them as beautiful memory and not to clutch on to them - Thanks for this poems my friend as life is lived in these moments and life has been lived then death is just a physical termination but the spirit lives on in memories.

Death is not the end
merely a new beginning

Wise words, beautifully penned. Great job.

RL-

Good job. I have to wonder what will happen when I pass away - whether I will experience such things. As they say in "The Mummy," "Death is just the beginning."

Well done.

If you're lucky, and mindful, you take the time to indulge in those precious moments, especially durning the most wretched times
cause it's those golden moments the make everything else worth living for. Very nice...comforting too.

There are so many moments in a lifetime. Your words are contemplative and restful. We can sleep easy knowing what we have been and what will be. As always, your words mean so much. This is an amazing write!
