JUMPING FOR JOY AND FOR DEATH

A Poem by marilyn 1225

 

reality has all faces and all kinds of hearts

 

what a cold er morning

seeping thru this old heart

mourning for the morning before

 

life has a way of sprinkling dust

on us

 with is elation,  love and such

 

life can   mystify 

 

and  then, voila, grab  away our loved ones

with a blink ,

 or  a wink of an eye

 

as Gatsby saw  New York in all its splendor, from a distance on the bridge

another driver was going backwards  with a hearse in  its fridge-- 

a heart in tow;

a heart dead  and  destined for the earth far below

the harsher reality being driven 

 

, with a face so grim and  devoid  of its  glee..

 

spoiling the thunder , bursting the balloons

negating that beauty   

with an eternal  grayness , to feel and    to see.....

 

 relish the days that are happy

the days that bring smiles

and know right in back

 traveling  on the opposite track -

 

 

is that  limosine

so  real , and  so cruelly  mean                Marilyn Nepp Nov 5 2017

We all go through those experiences and stages of life. One must take it as a learning or stepping stone and count the blessings we have. Awesome
