Death Poem by Richard Shindle

Death

Rating: 5.0


Death comes unexpectedly in the waning hours of darkness and another spirit ascends into the heavens at the crack of dawn.

A far away quake sends the tsunami rushing to shore where unexpected souls await their fate.

The storm spawns an F-5 tornado and the small village is a direct hit for unexpected victims of mother nature's wrath.

The ocean unveils a category 5 hurricane headed to the mainland where people attempt to prepare for a visit from the grim reaper.

The interstate is at rush hour and the thunderstorm sends the large 18 wheeler on a death course for those in its way- unexpected death again prevailing.

Death writes the script for all of mankind- unexpected death or fate?

A poem that moves the heart of the reader. A reflection on death, how unexpected it may show up. Something we need to think on and off about. In a hundred years none of us will be still here, all (or almost all) will be new people. I think I have come to a certain level of acceptance of the fact that all of us will die and none of us knows when. Excellent poem.
