My death wish

Weep not for my death my friends
don't let it all be in vain,
live your life to the very most,
fear not to go insane.


This war has already killed me,
and yes, mybody is gone.
but like a bird i'llalways soar,
gently hover over your hearts,
guarding you from every harm,
burning to light your darkened road.

Weep not for my death my friends,
for from thislife i had my share,
weep not for my death my friends
for death, is the end of all.

I'm almost hesitant to click your poems sometimes because they are the toughest little moments of gorgeous poetry and in some cases..... darkest hours!! Beautiful poem. Ridiculous how you pull this off when in such a state of chaos, but maybe like you.... my mind just reacted to things at times. Your pen.... lol What is more important when you need to write!! lol Oh, Aurora!! All your friends on WC are going to dehydrate with your poems draining us of our salts and tears!! Beautiful poem..... is it ever any other way with you, Aurora?!! My friend, good luck tomorrow!! You will be in my thoughts to make sure you arrive safely, and hopefully we get to hear somehow, how you are and what you see!! : ) xoxo -Your Mark

This is wonderful. Words come to us at the most incredible moments. I really like that this piece was written in the middle of chaos. It's a bit raw, but it's also seamless. Really loved this one! Thanks so much for sharing with me.

oh my! It's a good thing no one was injured! What a horrible event to gain such brilliance from, but I agree with Dr.D. You will survive and persevere, voice the truth and bring it to people's hiding faces. It won't matter that they look away when you sing it into their ears and hearts! ~em

You are a true poet. For even in fear the ink flows freely, capturing thoughts, energy, and feeling. May the fates continue to keep you safe.

Dr D is right. Keep strong but do not supress your fear... redirect it... that will be your strength. Keep writing, saying it as it is. You are not alone.

This gave me chills, what a tragic and poignant read. It's shameful and cuts deep to the core of who we are when people are so hateful, war never makes any sense. I'm glad you were able to write this and share it. Thanks.

I'm sorry you must live with fear and danger. I will never understand how men would shoot weapons into cities with kids and homes near. I pray for calm and peace in the Middle East and all places. A sad and powerful poem. I hope your home know calm and peace soon. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
