Upon a gentle summer night
I watched a moth seek out a light
and, though it burned and caused him pain,
yet still he sought the light again.
His heart that light could not resist.
His painful flight did not desist
until he died. His love thus proved.
The light remained. Unchanged. Unmoved.

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

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.
