A Voice from the Grave

Embrace of mother earth
is but caress of silk.
The touch of timeless time
is sweet like mother's milk.

The darkness here doth glow
engulfed in dancing rays.
There are no horrid nights,
no dragging weary days.

A whispering tender voice
enchants a lullaby.
Some cherubs, pure and chaste,
frolick in yonder sky.

Like infants we doth sleep
Like soaring birds doth rise.
'Tis hard to measure mirth
through inference or surmise.

Let me forget for good
the pangs that I endured.
Adieu! O brutal world!
I cannot be allured.

    This spiritual and emotional piece is captivating. You've made death seem so natural and even inviting in this delightful poem. It's definitly going into my favorites. I could read this over and over and continue to feel the gentle acceptance of life and death.

    An eloquent piece

    Oh wow. This is very powerful, yet serene and strightforward at the same time. Flow was spot on, no spelling errors. You also didn't over-use the rhyme like some poets I know, sometimes, myself. Good write.
