[Yuki Fukurou]

Heh...it seems my small poetry thread here was deleted during the attack. Oh well.



Anyway...(considering that I'm sometimes obssessed w/the subj. of death)...I've decided to write another poem. (This...by far has got to be the best one I've written on the subject).



Death & Dying:



Death?such a scary fate & reality

And a hard way to accept.



We wish for our loved ones to be with us forever

But we know that cannot be.



We sometimes think life is unfair,

Yet it?s a lesson we have to learn.



It comes unexpectedly; we hardly notice it?s there,

Some people think it?s nothing, they really don?t care.



Yet once it happens, we can?t stop it,

The realization, the shock, the news?is just too much to bear.



We?re filled with a sense of emptiness & grief,

Like a stab through the heart, like our lives are incomplete.



Yet through the grief & despair comes a ray of hope

A hope to see them again, someday.



Death is like parting, but it won?t be forever

So don?t feel down & keep grieving.



Instead, remember them for all the good they?ve done,

How they impacted your lives.



Memories are your partner now; they?ll never die,

And even though they?re not with us physically, but in spirit?



There?s always a special place for them in our hearts.

This is just one of the latest poems that I managed to come up with recently.

One Life:

What is it about life that makes it so mysterious?
What is it about life that makes it so beautiful?

What makes life so fragile?
What makes life so compelling?

Is it the wonders of the world or perhaps the boundless intricate creatures that inhabit the Earth?

Life can be precious and beautiful at the same time
From the blossoming of a flower, to the birth of a newborn child

Yet there are times life is also taken for granted
In this technological modern world, constant worries plague this planet.

Some people have the luxury of time, others don?t.

But for those that does, why not enjoy and notice the beauty and simplicity of nature?
Like walking through a forest, or smelling flowers?

Just as humans come and go in this world
So to does time and life.

Life is precious and limited. How would one choose to spend it?

Going through the worries of the world?
Or try and cherish the moments that are given?

To think on what lies ahead?
Or to try and make the best of what time is given?

Life is short, don?t waste it on the worries of the world or throw it away.

Just as time can be limited, so to is life.
How can a person cherish life if not to try and live it to the full?

Because don?t we all have one life to live?
