Life And Death Poem by Charles Tiffin Clegg

Life And Death



All life has dancing partners
Biology just moves and spins
The lattice work of structure
The core of everything
Life lives with dancing partners
Life process must have form
No form, no pleasure, pain, or motion
No future and no duplications, nothing anymore
All living things are housed in form
Form is a necessary requirement of life
Biology just moves and spins
The music for this dance of life
Has all powerful composers
Their names are Thanatos and Eros
All life denies their presence
They play all the instruments
They compose the music score
The play the chords and notes
In rhythm a cosmic battle raging
Form it's structure fighting inorganicity
The conductors baton leads the symphony
But Thanatos and Eros have all control

We humans in our arrogance
claim to be the ultimate life form.
Dwarfing our beliefs, thoughts and delusions
Thanatos and Eros are the only dancers on the floor
We are tiny puppets dependent on their waltz
Thanatos is largest with the power to destroy
Eros is attractive, her beauty brightly shines
She is feminine, glowing brightly in the night
Then Thanatos's power takes away the hope
Eros struggles to keep on dancing
Suddenly Thanatos removes the light
A silent heart beat stops the movement
First place goes to Thanatos dancing on the grave
