Beauty in Dying

The laughter of the crying brook
The whispering in the roaring winds
The silent pleading of a joyous sun
The bright colors of a cloudy sky
The tender falling of a broken leaf
The crushed glory of a fading rose
The still cracking of the fragile twig
The smile of a sorrowful moon
The sweet lullaby of the rambunctious stars
The changing faces in the leaves of an evergreen
The peace of a weeping night
The warmth of the cold mornings
The coolness of a balmy day
The frenzied sweep of the winter solstice
The happy farewell of autumn�s feathery time

The oxymoron of extravagant colors bringing in the season
Reminds me there is beauty in dying

Wow did you delete your old blog? Loving the new template. And totally loving the beauty of your poem.

I like the juxtaposition of the beauty in life with the idea of death. However, begs the question doesn't that make death a sad loss?
