The Early Grave was opened
It was waiting to be filled
By someone that was dying
or just not wanting to be healed
It was surrounded by natures beauty,
Close by was the Cemetery gate
A thoroughfare for all
and those awaiting their fate
The Early Grave had beauty
With the soil a gardeners delight
But of course it was not for planting
And to many it was a traumatic sight
It was filled with answers,
Particularly in the dead of the night
The Early Grave did not discriminate,
It took the wealthy and the poor
It often took the healthy
And those troubled by the law
Don't run from this Early Grave
Just live life to your best
When you have dreamed your dreams
and swallowed your time, then at peace you shall rest
Do plan your escape if you feel you are
'Knocking on Heavens Door'
Swallow some good health and try to LIVE a little more

Don't run from this Early Grave just live life to your best When you have dreamed your dreams and swallowed your time, then at peace you shall rest This is brilliant poetry, Lyn.
Beautiful poem on Early Grave. Live a life to the best, till you feel a Knocking on Heaven's door.Loved reading it..
Death is a reality..from which no one has an escape... but never look for an early grave. Live as long as you can and if possible as sound and as joyful as you can! Great message Lyn... and a beautiful poem!
I really love this very true poem, written in your usual 'great advice to ponder' way.... Thanks for yet another wonderful way of looking at things poem from the heart!
Beautiful.... scintillating poetic expression! Appreciated! !
Everything is here Lyn, in this trying to Live a little more... but how? that is the question...sometimes treading on the pavements of life is quite beyond the following of the road map! ! !
Everything in the universe has to die, that is part of life, but we have to live life in the 'now' and not in the past. The past is over and the future yet to come.
You know death is sure, no matter how hard we tried to run, it will comes and time is the deliverance that sending us now...i like the words you decorate here...yes lately i was surrounded with this feeling too_Soul
Good health is never to be taken for granted, and we should all endeavour to live life to the full. Great advice Lyn, and very well written.
