Beauty of Death

Death is beautiful. If it isn't what is?

As it breezes through the world

leaving men wiggling like leaves.

One destiny for man, animal and trees

As it creeps through the crevices

squeezing anything that lives.

Unexpected like a door knock

when it knocks on our door.

God knows, it's no luck 

comes for the rich and the poor

the saint and the w***e

could take a score or more

How can we not adore?

This lifetime-old unsolved riddle

A thing that makes all fingers equal

In sequence like a sequel

No surviving no survival

Indeed life is a travel

Life is brittle

Death is beautiful.

Well you certainly give it an entirely different angle. I wondered what I was in store for when reading this and it is amazing. I loved it's ability to shun the morbid aspect of death. In this piece life sounds more like the enemy and death a sweet reprieve. Good stuff man.

"Life is brittle
Death is beautiful."
I believe a good death is okay. A bad death like in war or accident leaving too much behind. I believe also. With death. There are no more concerns. A interesting poem. You open the door to a good and long conversation. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

An excellent poem, but there's just one little problem; you say it comes for everyone, but I've decided it's not really for me, so I've decided to opt out of opting out!
