    The Weight of Death

    It feels like such a shameall that laughter, conversation,all those ordinary afternoons together. They just lowered him into the groundlike a basket of rotting bread,carefully, as if it still mattered. I hate death.He’s so selfish -he arrives already decided,and leaves everything...

    • I’m with you dearest Tim I hate death, the look of it, the feelings it brings the unfairness, I was watching a nature program about a grizzly cub and it’s mom she led him high into the snowy mountains but the incline was too steep for the cub he tried so many times to follow her just to land on the rocks below to die it made me cry it was unfair… great write ❤️

      • Wow, that sounds awful. Even animals can be unobservant to their young, I guess. Thanks for the comment, Crimsin.

    • This is deep.
      Death is unfair and painful for loved ones. It absolutely feels unfinished.
      Great perspective Tim.

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Another great write my friend. We all fear death. Appreciate you.

    • This feels tender in its grief. The simplicity makes the hurt more real.

    • Wow my friend! This is a punchy and powerful view of death. Yes the unfinished business both between people and creatively that death leaves incomplete. If only we could have more time to finish our lives and do the things we set out to. And then there are the interpersonal relationships with unfinished business. Old wounded things that were never healed or forgiven between people. I know so well what your poem speaks of. You take the most important thing in life death and put it into a concise form that explores the crucial facets of death with great poetry.

    Morning Coffee Thoughts

    As the sun rose
    on a calm summer morning,
    and I faced the four directions,
    asking for balance,
    understanding,
    and grandmother’s wisdom,
    the Hawk circled
    then landed on the Elm
    down by Willow Creek.

    I thought at first
    it was looking for its morning meal,
    but it turned in my direction,
    catching my e…Read More

    • It’s beautiful… Definitely relaxing to read and vision. ❤️

    • Thinking of humanity as so small in the cosmos is both humbling and strangely empowering. For all that we are miniscule in the vastness, we can achieve so much through compassion.

    Emily Dickenson

    There's a big old steel gate around her graveThough It makes no difference - crypt or cave'Cause clocks won't tell the time of dayTo those that sleep in dirt or clay. It's dark - it's deep - what's small will...

    • this picked at my claustrophobic side very dark I myself want an ocean send off so I can be sand great write ❤️

    • Interesting comment, Crimsin. Thank you.

    • I’m digging dark Tim!
      These two stanzas build quite the image and feeling.
      Truly enjoyed this other side of your writing:)

    • Well this is interesting! I love the tie in with her as the subject header. It’s a tight rhyme scheme, very clever.

    • Cleverly penned, Tim. Excellent write with amazing flow my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

    • Tim as a huge fan of Emily Dickinson I can truly say this poem is uniquely composed and the crypt approach is an exquisitely new one applied to the great poet lady. You took me into her resting place with words that were vivid and strong and enveloped me in the sense of her final plot. Truly a wonderfully new and innovative view of the great poet lady. Loved this.
