Death Promise Nothing

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Mar 19, 2017

Death promises nothing 
But the future holds a new beginning
When we will quench the color of pain. 
And the flame untouched flutters here, 
It's raggedy flags beating the air.
Rapture has drawn into the uneasy gap 
Hasty calls of the scars and cause ask.

The wind that blows stripped our lives  
Leaving trivialities and tragedies.
Embers of memories bound in all people. 
like sorrow, you feel it most of all
The unveiling which makes us guilty. 
Brings a smile and the look of beauty.

It has an ever-increasing anguish, 
That blends our thinking with so much.
Life gave out shares and left all we wish.
Sorrow station here brings human grief, 
indispensable joy restores immense relief.

Profound words, and we can only hope that there is a better after life...very well written.
