Death and Life

DEATH AND LIFE

Death is our parting point

As life is our broken joint.

We are a plank of wood split amidst tares.

One to fire, the other to cold and a mixture of tears.

The tree has given us her arms

Where death and life succeed without charms.

This sweet revenge I will enjoy in the east.

How you trade your breath on the wind travelling to west.

I will close my eyes

But beckon the birds from the skies

To carry you on their beaks

To the land of unknown above peaks.

Love is a mirror of life but a vision of death

When the body sends off the heart to a pathless path.

The beginning unto you - scripted tales of comedy

But the end you despised has staged you into an unending scene of tragedy.

I have chosen to live

Whether you embrace death or take a leave

To the paradise of mites in strife.

This is how I will swing and swing myself in the valley of life.
