Poem #285 Contradictions


Both sudden and prolonged,

painful and acheless,

peaceful and chaotic;

it is a myriad of contradictions.

Death comes for all,

and in its wake, sadness,

grief and despair follows-

a darkness that seems

to overwhelm all of existence.


Yet through it all

hope remains.

Hope for a day when the numbness quiets

and the pain dulls.
