    Poem Commentary

    Sometimes the thought of dying consumes my every waking thought, and I know that it is trying to get a hold of me. At these times when I am down I think about life, my life the life I was meant to lead to impact so many others around me. I dont care what anyone thinks of this piece this is how I feel... One day i shall be here no more, but before I take my final breath, I will hold on to each moment and share it with the word.

    The Hour Glass

    What will happen when my mortality ends?
    My beauty shall fade away
    The stars the moon the trees will all become distant memories when I am gone...
    Will I be able to look from the sky, watch over my daughter as she grows, awaiting her arrival
    Mourning her departure...
    This disease called life is fatal....
    There is no cure and no one is exempt....
    We all are on an express freight train, and passage shall be like thieves in the midnight hour...
    How could sin do this wretched thing to us?  How could sin take away our right to live?
    My breath
    My life,
    My family
    This struggle
    The fight...
    I want to live!
    I want my grey hair to flow like the Nile rejuvenating itself becoming young...
    I want to be young forever...
    And forever I shall
    I won't hurt over this disease anymore...
    I will laugh, and smile
    I will dance with the lilies of the field...
    I will make merry all the days of my life
    until this life shall end...
    I will cherish every breath in my body
    Be glad about every song that I have learned
    I will take my daughters hand in mine, and forget about time...
    I won't  be taken away before I am gone
    Moment to Moment
    I have nanoseconds and years to live, to grow, more to know
    A woman to become, heroic deeds by my cape that need to be done
    I won't stand for this disease
    I wont let it be the crypt for my sanity.
    Live
    Live

    Very nice. Very nice. advanced elements are clearly used in this write. A TEN

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
