Time To Choose, Life Or Death? Poem by Stella Andrews

why do i take this life for granted?
how can i when i know how closely
life and death joined.

the line between one another is so blurred
its hard to tell when your too close

do you think beauty is a divine right
or a gift?
i think the only time you can really know
is when your hanging over the edge of a cliff

when your thoughts come to a complete halt
and your truly within the between
of life and death

when only life fills your lounges
and death fills your mind
but hope and wonder
fill your heart

then maybe, hopefully, you can see
you will see the divine beauty surrounding you
you will decide either life or death and
the unknown boundary will no longer be necessary

for you have made your decision
and now you can appreciate
the path in which you have chosen
