To Stand, To Fall, To Live, To Die.


To Stand

Is no big thing

It is merely to defy the wind
To stand against the force
That will never stop,
Nor succeed.

To Fall

Is to die,

To let the wind,
Throw you down.
To give up the fight
To Die.

To Live

Is to continue

To keep walking the road,
To keep defying the wind

To rise from the floor,
To face the wind
Once more.

To Die

Is to fall, and hide.
To run from the wind
And fear it, to escape it.

To die is to end.

    If dieing is fearing, does that make fear an instrument of death? interesting thing to consider..

    I am Agnostic, so all of my poetry i will try to keep religion free and make it universal for all. I thank you all for your comments and if there are any recomended changes i will try to do that as soon as possible. Chris

    A little interesting to me, since I am an atheist. For an atheist, this has a very real meaning, especially because it makes us realize that we can and will die someday, and for an atheist, that is the ultimate ending.
    That said 'Yaddam ydda, yadda, same old, same old, keep writing.'

    Okay, but anyways, I'd feel honored if you'd read my stuff, no comments necessary on it or anything, it'd be enough to know you read one.

    I love the way the poem flows. It sort of transitions from one thing to another in a way that is similar, yet the idea is different.

    I agree with pozo with the "floor" and "more". It was very well written and very deep. It felt a little like traveling through time(reading this poem)

    I liked this poem. I especially liked the imagery (spell check). I like how it was free verse yet not forced. I liked the last line to die is to end.

    Quite a bit darker than your others, I think. I liked the imagery here Keep writing with such depth, I love your depth I like the rhyme here 'floor' and 'more'- as this was a freeverse it was strictly natural and unforced
    All the best
