PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

like an enlightened breath

of spring time's air

newly expressed awareness

from life's much too dull

and overly restrictive lungs

we have no idea how well we have it

really

at least not until we

finally

get to go back home

surely such passage as death

must be the identical twin to birth

minus all the rush and discomfort of course

but perfect in a world where its ignorant

inhabitants milk their surroundings for

all they are worth

and to think some would pay to get the chance

to come here

and yet gifts no matter how tragic

do not always carry an obvious price tag on

them

we each must do our part

to reveal the worth of what we each possess

truly inside

oh and of course always remember that God

never gives away the game.............
