Melancholy
Life sometimes makes me speechless,
It is as if I'm hanging on a harness,
I knew not what is coming,
Nor have I any idea what is going.
Life is given from the heavens,
But death is like something common,
And I'm drifting in between two,
Witnessing both I'm going to.
News came swift and sudden,
There was despair and all was solemn,
Not one, not two, not three, not four,
Nor five nor six, uncountable for all.
There is a time to let go,
Be it friend or foe,
It is the way circle of life works,
From beneath Mother Nature lurks.
Despair, disappointment, distress, horror,
Sadness, fury, compassion, terror,
This is life,
Into it we dive.

goodness.. i'm stunned by the 'deepness' of the poem.. the next 'Shakespeare' in making.. Jared and you make good poems.. ever thought of publishing a book of poems??
indeed... shakespeare in the making.
life and death are part and parcel of existence. they go hand-in-hand together to remind us to enjoy life because death will come in the end.
but why the sudden poem?
~verus rara avis~
