Life vacillates
between waves of hope
Bouncing up to catch fresh
air
with a ride on every crest
Death closes shut
that open window forever
Choking itself in an
airless room
of despair, desperation and
certain doom
Life shakes in fear
or trembles with delight
It quivers with
anticipation
Death is still. Period.
Life shows its moods
Throws tantrums,
exults and gets excited
Death is calm,
given to perpetual
quietude
Life holds promise
Of waking up
to a new day tomorrow
Of spending a lifetime
creating moments
that befittingly become
memories
Death kills
It blows out
the wishing candles
on a birthday cake
It snuffs out the
burning lamp
on the mantle of desire
Life travels,
It goes on journeys
of experience and
adventure
Death brings in
the end of the road
The last destination,
the final frontier
Life is whimsical
Life sways between
A good day and bad
between this and that
Death is determined
Death is resolute
No ifs and buts
no looking back or forward
Life trudges on, with
its loads,
Its burden’s share
Death has no problems
No tensions,
no care
Life travels on trains
Bus or plane
Bearing the cross
Like a curse or bane
Death cruises to
Its place of rest
With drama,
with fanfare.
