Like a dropp of rain in the wind,
Like a fish in the ocean,
Like a spark in the darkness,
A clock ticks without motion.
Like a diamond in mountains,
Like a tree in the forest,
Like a cloud in the sky,
The choir sings without chorus.
Like a shard of glass from a window,
Like a torn page from a book,
Like a burnt home in a field,
A life worth one more look.
Like red candlewax melted,
Like flame turned to ice,
Like pond ripples at midnight,
The devil grins twice.
Like a diamond buried,
Like an hourglass shifted,
Like a mirrors reflection,
A perspective twisted.
Like a star in the universe,
Like a planet in space,
Like a crater on the moon,
Life is a race,
is a race,
is a race.
And some leave too soon.

This poem is a marvel, because it is written in a wide perspective, on a grave subject, and in spite if that, though one senses the tears, especially at the end, there is restrainst and dignity. Kale, these moments are life-changers. I'm glad you are a poet, and that your friends are remembered in this fashion. Maybe add the dates? Great work.
sorry for ya man...this is a beautiful poem....describes exactly how short life can be...how sad life can be.... nice work 10++
dear poet friend, you have a pure soul, through your kind words your friends will live on
a beautifully written, lovely poem, ode to your late friends. great job :)
This is some lush language. I enjoyed very much too the way it ended.
To me, it says we're individual yet part of a whole, small yet precious and when we lose someone, it shakes us to our core, exposing the fragility of life taken by a cruel twist of fate. Lovely tribute.
a voice with a lot of warmth that is touching, yet it is a tribute to 2 dear friends you have lost.
I have no words after reading the poem what to comment......life on earth never be predicted we dont know causes when results hurt we mourn.......a great write....

Oh Kale, it is as near perfect as I can imagine it and it goes in my favorites this minute. I love it truly. Like red candle wax melted Like flame turned to ice. Gives me goose bumps! Warmest regards, Susan
