Impetuosity to depart to the house of charnel
Sorrow, you have proceeded to anonymous, set apart, nirvana
'Angel of death' the heir did take. Mortality is my boy to this world
Inferior is the afterlife. Afterlife never abandons it's duty to us all.

Touching heartfelt lamentations for the body whereas the liberated soul enjoys the bliss of Nirvana.

It makes me sad to read this poem Rachel, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I realize by the details you have given above that the young man was just a bit older than my son, and it is ever so tragic to someone in the prime life to pass on as he has done. Be strong and may God be with you. I know it is not easy to bear this.

Death indeed is a sad song of separation. Sympathy to you dear Rachael!

Interesting poem Rachel. (RAB) You have a typo in the last line. (never abandons (its) duty to us all. The pronoun is possessive for afterlife. You might put a cap on Mortality as the beginning of a sentence. Reversals in the sentence always set me back a bit. (Noun, verb, object of the verb) is the natural flow of the English language; it allows for the rhythm of the language to flow naturally. ('Angle of Death' did take the heir. Mortality is my boy to this world ;) . a poet friend RH Peat
