Tell Me

Tell her, what is death?

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A reason to part,

Or one to nestle you closer?

For I know you still lay next to me

And send your sweet kisses my way

Should I lose faith

And stop doing the same?

 

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A way for you to leave,

Or one to hold me forever?

For I know you still hug me when I cry

And rock me to sleep.

Should I lose faith

And let you fade away?

 

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A reason to forget you

Or one to remember you forevermore?

For I know you still hold my hand

And hug me when I’m cold.

Should I lose faith

And leave you all alone?

 

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A reason to shed tears,

Or one to smile?

For I know you still guide the stars to me

Just to see me smile

Should I lose faith

And stay stuck on the bridge

Between us?

I've had no inspiration at all! And I'm sick, so.... I already apologize to my friends for not being in school. Most likely I won't be there tomorrow either. With that said, thanks for reading! It means the world to me! And don't forget to leave a comment, will you? Thanks, dude! Love ya'!

I think you have written a gentle, thoughtful poem. I think I choose the second of your suggestions, 'A reason to shed tears, Or one to smile?' We can remember those who have died with fondness, and yes, they do still seem to be around us. Lovely poem.

[Vasilees Sybissyl]

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review you've sent my way!! So glad you enjoyed it!!

[Great Aunt Astri]

You are welcome.

No apologies necessary for this inspirational piece. If this is a product of no inspiration, stay uninspired and keep writing, lol.

[Vasilees Sybissyl]

You're teaching me to celebrate bed times with this review of yours! Thank you so much!

[Seeker]

You completely misunderstand me, sorry for that. When you said that you had no inspiration, after reading your work I thought the piece was so good. If that is uninspired, then I cannot wait to see your inspired poems. My profound apologies as no offense was intended. Quite the contrary. I promise to be more careful with my choice of words in the future.

[Vasilees Sybissyl]

Oh please, no offence taken. I meant it. That review taught me that good can come out of bad times too. Don't hurt that head of yours, okay?

Interesting look at two ways one can deal with death; grief or celebration.
