Forbidden For Jt Ellison

Rating: 5.0


I sometimes wonder when you die.
Are you aware that you are dead?
And do you know the reason why
And can you see the way ahead.

Or are you frightened and alone
And do not know what you should do
When you are faced with the unknown.
Does someone come to comfort you?

Some sort of spirit rescue team
who are prepared and on stand by.
Who will explain this is no dream.
A different reality.

Your body died but you live on
Immortal spirits cannot die.
Although you’re sad and woebegone,
you must accept reluctantly.

You can’t go back; impossible.
You must move on to the next stage.
Although it’s highly probable
you will refuse to in your rage.

You were not ready yet to die
and miss all that you left behind.
You cannot see a reason why
fate should choose you. That you can find.

Eventually you realise
this is your new reality.
Death comes to all as a surprise
because that’s how it is meant to be.

All people know that they must die
but may not know the where or when
Though we may ask, there’s no reply.
Some knowledge is forbidden men.

All the intellectual curiosity about dying becomes tinged with emotion as the moment approaches, and the thousands of years of questioning have examined the subject from all angles, but still one knows the moment will finally approach; I found this a beautifully written poem. Thanks, Ivor.
