THE CALM BEFORE

nephilim56

When your sadness
Burst on fire
On your knees
Yet climbing higher
The world seemed
A bitter place
Then peace 
About your face.

Curious angels
Their choir sang
In your mind
The chaos sprang
Gentle waves
Upon your mind
Exquisite calm
Now was the time.

Time for you
To float away
No more stress
No words to say
Farewell grief
And empty day
Goodbye my friend
You chose your way.

    A very poignant and touching write around a sensitive subject, that in today's world is dramatically on the increase, nicely expressed and written

  • sorenbarrett

    Suicide is a most serious thing being a one way street with no return it also affects others and may be seen as a selfish act but in some cases may be warranted such as intractable chronic pain in terminal disease and even this people argue. A very serious subject that does not get enough discussion.
