Thread: Memorial to a Friend: The Moment of Life

This poem was written for a dear friend, who has recently died from a car accident. In memory of Stephanie Zgorzynski.


----

Life is fleeting
Life is fleeting
Life is-
gone... but not the soul!

For as dawn comes quickly
so shall the beginning stay
and the ending away.

The tide rises, the tide falls
but not the soul.

Life is fleeting
life is quick
life is evening
but not the end.

For herald so the even calls
the twilight lit and then the nightime fall.

But in darkness heralds so
the great bright dawn in glory gold
and up a hill in majesty and show that grand
old Eden wrought to behold!

Then forever Life come again
in dawn that holds no end.

And up that hill long we've tread
shall we see eternity.

And up there too shall we see furthur,
with brother and sister,
see also once again our grand old sister...

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, bearycool. The poem speaks true, a spiritual connection again, which is why I enjoy reading your poetry. The soul endures, and it is only the body, the vehicle that dies.
Nice work.

Love the sentiment expressed in this sad, melancholy poem. Peace...Jul

Sorry for your loss, beary. Thank you for sharing your wonderful tribute with us.

Thank you all for the reply. If you all want to know, the viewing for her is about to be held. It should be about an hour and 15 minutes up to the time of this post.
