A dark night filled with deep lament,
A wolf howls with predatory intent,
The deer do not fear him though,
Death cannot frighten them so.
We sit in the comfort of a home,
Knowing we have years until the catacomb,
Fiercely searching for answers in a tome,
Thinking death is merely a syndrome,
Maybe we should strive to be like the deer,
Instead of living as another King Lear,
No longer living in fear,
Perhaps, we should live right here.

that's a unique message that we should all adopt x
I really like this poem
I love the analogy with
The deer.... unfortunately
I count myself in the bracket
Of fear... it only hits me at
Night, during the daytime I'm
Fine... a poem that makes
You think, for me, is very good
so true that the light of Now drives out any fear. A wonderful rhyme as a tribute to nature that knows what death really is.
this is a nice take on life. thanks for sharing
