Life Begins
by Adrian CalhounSpiraling,
transcending heaven and earth.
The clouds float past,
or is it they who stand in place.
Alone, we are left
to either stand or fall.
As angels blessed to fly,
we were born to die.
Standing at the brink of the edge,
the sky dark, lifeless,
a singed void without sun.
Somewhere from the depths below,
the abyss quietly beckons for us.
Eyes turn upward abruptly,
grasping for hope.
Arms outstretched to catch
the comets tail as it passes.
A single drop of rain falls.

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/04/05 at 11:45 AM Good to see you posting again! One of the best poems I've seen from your "pen". There is the reality of death, there is hope which you have so graphically symbolized. Great last line! |
