Shall We Not?

Shall we not suffer?

Enduring the pains of reality

the sun shines as i can not reach it

the moon glows as it does not shine 

Waves of freedom splash into the uprooted earth

pulling it back down into a hell of twisting and turning

pain inflicted one many with no release 

Monitors keeps those alive, 

the ones with no will to live 

hearts and bodies set free 

shall we not cry when one is released from our grips? 

No longer able to hold them, talk to them, smile?

Days go empty with crying and wanting of the ones we love. 

Dying is so natural but yet shall we not try to stop it?

keep the ones we love with us for ever. 

make them suffer so we can go visit them each and every day, 

Shall we not care if they are half alive or already on the other side?

shall we not think? 

how they see things?

Shall we not mourn them as they walk the path?

the white light at the end? 

Shall we not set a candle for those we love and lost?

With this theme, current for your then. Reading this and some time having passed, I relive your experience. Immortalized in word, and feel with it now. Here thoughs thoughts and feelings are captured, and the candle lite. For that love, never lost... its flame. Living on, through your family.

Death with always be a part of life that many don't
handle to well. But it should be embraced for what it
is, the end of this life and possibly the beginning of a'
new one....nicely done BME.....

[Coyote Poetry]

We need to light a candle for those we have lost. Cry with the poor and the sick. Blind people unable to feel or see the pain of this world will die alone wishing for a prayer and a candle. A excellent poem. You made me think this early morning. A excellent poem.

[Ted Lambert]

dying sucks. most of us 40+ year people can relate intimately to the images you evoke very well. the saddest of all are those who can't even glimpse the bigger picture; this is only a step on a never-ending journey. good stuff.

It is a poignant fact that life that we try to hold onto everyone, every moment of our lives, this is heart wrenchingly moving love
