According To Death Comments

Indeed, dust to dust is a must and we shall all accord to death. An insightful philosophical poem, well articulated and nicely penned in beautiful diction with conviction. Thanks for sharing Robert.

Very nice. I especially enjoyed these lines: a silhouette Of the somber procession upon the hill Backlit by a tired sun— The busy insects will Eat what is left, the scuttling carnivores, Nature’s vacuum cleaners

Truly, death will take us away one day towards a new beginning with new thoughts and new Endurance Loved reading the poem

At all. Maybe we will be like the egg in the nest in the crook of a branch Of an expansive tree. Laying there in our nooks waiting to hatch again To be filled with new thoughts, like the river’s changing gown, We will become again something we never before were. A very beautiful poem expressing your expectations from death. Excellent work.

Brilliant! ! ! I Now images of Persona flicker before my inner eye :)

Easily one of the best poems I've ever read...10

Wow nothing can be added to this, and it doesn't need an embellishment from anybody. I'm afraid if Death is after good writers..you may not be around that much longer. (smile)

lovely poem..truth all the way..10

Heavy, but well said.It is written'Man that is born of woman is of few days, and full of trouble'.

Statistically you shall follow after me but, I'm almost sure, some branch of physics would have you following before me but, until either scenario comes to pass, we will not know if I shall be able to read your collected works on the far off bank of the river styx! !

What you say is very true. I see death as just part of a long trip...kind of like traveling across the country and then you come to Texas....

Some very deep contemplation going on here, Robert. What is Death, afterall? We can only speculate, since we won't come back to tell about it, or maybe we will? In this lifetime or the next. Like 'an egg in the nest waiting to hatch again'........I like that concept. Nicely done, Robert. Linda :)
