Life and death

Reflections on life and death
Dragged out the latent poetess in me
But why I became reticent
When it came to life?

Life itself is a beautiful poem
To be read, written or learned by heart
Depending one's ability,
Performance and mindset.

Moral of the poem---
How well one understood?
Is the deciding factor
When you reach the end of it.

Life after death ---
Has anyone seen tomorrow?
But tomorrow is another day
At least for some.

I listen and have listened to so much music seems song lyrics just jump into my brain - "life is a long song" - Jethro Tull ... "I'm on the way to find out" Cat Stevens This is what came to me as I read your poem. Actually read it at least three times and it opened up more each time. "Life is a beautiful poem...moral...how well you understood...life after death...tomorrow is another day...at least for some." really like the use of latent and reticent in first stanza - the whole first stanza is really great. glad I came by - enjoyed your work -carl

A very thought provoking poem. With hidden meanings in between the lines.
