The Dead Trumpeter
Beneath the verdant sod you lie
Bereft of breath and trumpet's cry
Eternity you dream away
- and compose your notes for Judgment day!

Poetry: Life & death
I have desired life all my given years
As I sat next to death on a ringside seat;
Watched the players, one by one, disappear
by Magi
Heaven's Door
He walked up to this Heaven's
During his journey he paused to give thought
He’d travelled so far and needed a rest
He thought of the good times
by Happy Poet
The Journey
Rising seven springs unite, bringing life to see
Meanders caressing banks his nooks and crannies
Gliding over familiar
by Kendra Allen
How faint the line which now divides
A person's life and death;
No louder than a heartbeat's song
Or deeper than a breath.
