Just as we learn to
Open our eyes from birth
Just as we learn to crawl moving
To find the sofa legs making our first stands
Just as we learn to walk
A' make our way out from mother's nest
Just as far as we can to achieve
We learn to run on our feet
We learn to love, falling in love
Just as we learn to laugh
We learn to cry, shedding tears
Just as sorrow overwhelms our heart
We learn to leave with the aftermath
Just when tragedy knocks and earth angels fall
We say a prayer for such departed souls, closed eyes
Just for the heavens to embrace them home again
solemn...
ReplyDeletea beautiful poem about something horrible
The second verse, about finding sofa legs, was fantastic. The theme of how different developments coincide with each other was poignantly displayed throughout the piece. Nicely done.

Very sad poem, but the tone really went well with the comparison added in.
