My Friend, DEATH

Another Dark Poem...

Published on February 13, 2005 By Moderateman In Philosophy

Come old friend…. Let us grapple once more.

I welcome you…I battle you..

We have fought before….

We shall fight again…Knowing in the end I must lose.

From the corner of my eye…. I see you

Watching me…. Waiting… Patient..

Time is nothing to you…. Everything to me…

Time runs short….Yet still inside..

A warrior’s heart beats.. I welcome the final battle..

Bring allies you shall need them… I know not how to quit.

Hear my howl, my challenge to you.

Come meet me. I fear you not..

Wow! That was awesome moderateman!!!! I love it

I dont think it's a dark poem, i actually think it's encouraging. We know we'll eventually lose the war someday, but it's good to know we faught the fight and ran the race

And not fearing death is a sign of serenity.

Great Poem!!!

We shouldn't fear death half as much as we should fear a wasted life. Too many are willing to give up really living for fear of dying.

thanx ted, Death and I are old companions, we have drank, fought and fornicated together, but as dylan Thomas said < go not quietly into the dark night {paraphrased}.. I once said to my wife, never have I felt alive as I did fighting for life {war} weird but way true.

Oh, dont think i think it's a light subject. But it's inevitable, and if we can see it in the eye and accept it with no worries when the time comes, i think it's a great achievement.
