Falling Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Falling Life



Life's members falling aside, as the rest of life goes on.

Yellowed with age, crippled by disease, alone and feeling
abandoned now that the children have grown and moved away.

Loneliness echoes across halls of yesterday, maintaining
the good times once had.

Now like water flowing downstream, gently, hurriedly,
taking everything with it, as our lives bob up and down
frantically, trying to hold on.

Peaceful nature of life surrounding the entire universe
will one day wrap and envelope each of us as we float
through death's embrace.

An excellent poem with a dream to envelop the mortal life after it's end and to merge it in the peaceful universe.Though it's melancholic but dreaming for all the pains and sorrows..... beautiful

I would like to think that after a life that feeds us with such a frenzied pace, that the envelopment of peace and calm will cleanse my drifting days...and in the final season there will be blossoms that bloom with greater beauty. One can only wish that serenity and simplicity be granted in the design of death. I hope to ponder these thoughts for a very long time.......PEACE
