before dawn burst forth
She breathed in, breathed out, deep and unrestrained
that very moment
She solely absorbed the restraint of death
We are like forests clutching the earth
We mature sitting in the lap of Mother Nature
sky, stars, sun, and moon...
return in spirit to that magic world
thus the old time sages knew
this, handed down in succession
but, by a long lapse of time
goodness seems to have been lost here
all along filled with loneliness as if trees that were rustling suddenly hush
though now We live far away in cities and strange lands
We forget the harmony We all should know
hidden from Us are thoughts of birds and animals
now Our lives are metered out by incessant clocks
one good thought ought to be imperishable
but meanness and greed are all too discernable
now Our lives are taken by madmen with weapons
massed fingers now squeeze triggers firmly on the edge of the end
but at the beginning of all Our tears
tears flood the grounds so deep and wet
She placed her last wish gently inside her good book
it closed
the page were wet too.
She will not multiply anymore
wet pages of bloody crimson flow
and I ask why?
We settle for the unchangeable loneliness
There will always be violence in the world. It's just the natural order of life. If violence didn't exist we would never appreciate peace. Perhaps one day in the far off distance true peace may exist and we'll have a fully enlightened world that embraces nature and love. Until then, violence has to exist for educational purposes and to maintain equilibrium in the universe.
Pretty poem.
