Ode To Victor Hugo-25 'the Miserable'-Dead Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

In obvoius ways
Take care how you view Death.
The Dark Side of birthdays
Do not think of that
which rots
and decays.
Look steadily
and you Will
see the living light
of your beloved
in the bosom
of Heaven
Residing in rays.
Faith gives health
In different ways.
Seek to counsel
and soothe the dispairing
By saying prays
Seek to transform
the grief
Which sees only a pit
into the grief
Which sees a star,
That never strays.
