I was spared the fate of
death in my early years
I did not yeild to drowning
or violence in foreign lands
I seem to be fated to a long life
filled with pain and cares
I am dieing slowly.Like an oak tree
as it stands
I die from the tips of my limbs
as they slowly rot and fall
Till bare of leaves and hollow
trunked I bravely hold my own
I yet can feel the weather's breath
and hear the bird's sweet call
Death will come like a strong wind
To lay me down flat prone
Then I will lie on the soft breast
of mother earth
The seasons will have their way
with this old broken tree
My scattered corpse will blend with
soil to start another tree's birth
For then the spirit that was once
called life will forever be set free

Paladin~You write ever so deep...but, even more thought provoking in the winter months. At some point, yes, all our spirits will be set free...but, alas not until it is time my friend. Good thought provoking write as usual.

~Time has cast a spell on you,
So you won't ever forget me~

Interesting thoughts...
We all will die sooner or later...
All of us will die at least once...
