From our moment of creation
Till our last day on this earth,
Comes the search for things eternal;
Moving forward from our birth.

A Master Piece. I rank this poem along side OZYMANDAIS, WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN! ...It is indeed a poem from A Master Poet. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful work of art. Keep it up.
..death is something inevitable....a truth known to all who are born, but it is far more difficult to accept........ Yet we can die peacefully and attain eternity, if we commit our lives to the purpose of lighting other's lives....................lovely write
Well written Joseph. It's strange, but if you think about it, every hundred years or so, the population of the earth is completely renewed. Like you say, none can escape death, and what lies beyond is indeed a mystery.
Death is a doorway that we all must enter. Some may die peacefully, others violently. Accidents, drownings and so many others means. Man born of a woman is just of a few days. The more we realize this and accept it the better off we will be. Don't worry about tomorrow just live for today. Excellent!
I simply loved this poem, especially because of its simple and straightforward way of expressing things...
Wonderfully penned Joseph! ... though Death to me is a word that we use to describe something that we have no comprehension of...and in my mind certainly a doorway to more beautiful vistas and far greater possibilities... I am very fond of saying... When death does find me.. I hope I go like my dear old grand-dad... peacefully in my sleep... not screaming and yelling like all of the passengers in his car! :)
Extremly good poetry here Joseph. The subject, so real, and the mystery so inticing. One of my favorites indeed... as are you.
beautifully telling about how to come through death loved your lines
Death is inevitable. For one who has done the right things in life it is time to exit with joy. Beautiful poem.

Yes, Death is an inevitable reality! For a person in love with life, it is not always easy to welcome death... More than the fear of death, the uncertainty about what awaits at the other end is the more puzzling thing! Here Faith alone can come to our rescue... Most of the religions talk of an immortal spirit... and a heaven where blissful souls congregate..! Let us believe that a life of bliss awaits us! Death is not the companion of the aged, it is unfortunately in love with the young too...... A beautiful write, so genuine in thoughts and expression! !
Well written Joseph. The calm acceptance of things to come. But Go not gentle into that goodnight.We have poems to write, and there is always something good just around the corner.
Excellent Joseph, and yes, it is something none of us can escape, and we all hope for a quick and easy demise, very well written and rhymed. Great stuff.
It's the one thing that makes us all the same in the end. really like this, a great poem.
I fear death as I have no faith. It is a curse, but I don't believe in them!
