life and death


life is beautiful

flowers bloom 

trees sway in the wind 

people are born 

blue ocean waves 

but it doent last 

things die 

they whither away

one minute there here 

 the next minute gone 

in a new dimention 

a new life 

a new form of life 

you may feel them 

 there spirits linger

in the mist of the air 

unseen, unherd 

still there 

people die 

still here 

you cant see touch or hear them 

but they linger in your presence
