Life & Death: The In Between Times
Life & Death: The In Between Years
And so we are born
To the Light
And the overhead lamps swing, swing
Casting shadows
From Dark to Light
And back again
Between our course beginnings
And our staggering endings
Our life paths wind
But… between our Life and our Death
Something else there resides
And the years pass by
As those lamps illuminate
Our upturned faces
And our friends pass by
Sparking bright hot flares in their wakes
Our own wakes we leave behind
Choppy and peaked
Or sedate, mellow and calming
And beneath all our wakes lies
The Dark of Sleep

Death, the final years on this plane of earth.. We all must come to terms with that. Harder when you are young and death seems almost impossible.. As you get older it does make you wonder is this just a passing to another dimension, is this the infinate ending to it all? Your poem brings this question to life… The symbolic flowers that pass and are reborn again gives us all hope that their is more for us too.
