Lifes edge (Free verse) by donmiguel1960
A razors edge jagged and tattered
Life's troublesome days ripping there way
Ideas unclear, broken and scattered
As years pass on by, skies darkened and grey
Understand not, the lives that we live
Just to carry on faithfully day after day
All that's expected, we continue to give
Our souls every strength, darkens to grey
There's no vision to carry our hopes up on high
No glorious plan that makes it alright
No peaceful dove, that sores through the sky
Only lost dreadful dreams, that seem so contrite
An endless fall, hitting rocky harsh cliffs
Smashing the boulders with force never known
A pain so aware, that always persists
A sadness that lingers, to deaths final groan
Life ends in the winter, when summer is gone
No memories of spring to brighten the days
No strength in the body, a sacrificed pawn
Children bewildered, in a cold frozen gaze
