where ever the hearts may linger

just something i wrote

Tell me...
Do the angels treat you right?
do they bring you news of the world..
news of us...wasting time... being alive.
of us fooling around.... with endless hopes


Do you from above see the night?
how it spreads the darkened shade...
slowly expanding to swallow the lights,
and rest silently waiting for us to fade...


Do you see the shinning sun,
above the sky casting rays?
do you feel the gentle touches?
and the kind warmth can you embrace?


Or is your soul too dead to feel...
is your grave too dark and cold...
scared we are to face what's real
for death is a mistry that's never been told.

Author's Note

again... one of my crazy thoughts.

Very nicely written, and quite an interesting subject. It reminds me of those satellite photos that are taken at night time and you see the illuminated cities on the map. Wonderful. My favourite part, however, was the title. It's a phrase that can easily be turned into a question, and the fact that you didn't was awesome, because the point isn't about what happens to us when we die, but obviously how we lead our own lives and cope with the loss of a loved one.

Brilliant.

Aurora, this is simply beautiful. Emotional questions and posed and pondered. To question in poetry is an amazing thing as is your poem. Very nice.
