The two great friends Birth and Death
Conspired for humans, Lament and Breath;
The natal twinge the infant could never express
The soul’s departure nor the body could digress;
A rare MIRACLE, a life in life
Grows up to experience the worldly strife;
A child takes no time to mature fast
An adult leaves the post for he cannot last;
The wrinkles force to quit for Gen next
Their epochs are quoted in various texts;
Exit and Entrance prudently divine
Folded in mystery the unseen time.

This is a great writing. I wish I could understand it better, so I could give it a ten instead of a nine. GW62
Awesome! Your poem moves with Miltonic dignity. I liked the opening lines: 'The two great friends Birth and Death Conspired for humans, Lament and Breath.' You are a already a great and recognized poet. While commenting on your poems I feel small as if I am showing lamp to the Sun.
