Array ( [sid] => 39962 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I the fool [time] => 2004-03-23 20:32:54 [hometext] => Poem 4...you get the idea. [bodytext] => Into the air of Spring I step
I faulter and halt, and take a breath
The air is sweet and calm and cool
The breath of life, and I the fool

Death came quickly
Without halt or retreat
Covering life in a blanket so sweet
White death so cool and sweet

It was folly to wish for it
It was wrong to embrace it
For I knew not what it was
I knew not of the life beneath it

Life preserved, and yet decayed
Life giving up life
Yet in death
Flowers it made

A paradox
A contradiction
A statement so false
That it is true

I did not look to the life
I did not seek the beauty
I did not seek any of it.
I let it die, and its death, embraced

I stand in the beginning of spring
Death is dying
Life is living
And I the fool [comments] => 2 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 61 [informant] => Levi [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

I the fool

Death is dying

And I the fool
