Leaving family and friends behind,
Questions of “why” are quietly asked,
By those who work on burial tasks,
As tears and prayers are being said,
A family’s main worry is for their dead,
Are they alone ~ Are they afraid?
Do they know where they are laid?
Are they cold ~ Do they feel trapped?
In their coffin that is cement capped...
Then there are questions that are not spoke,
For just the thought makes loved ones choke,
Death is unknown ~ So there is fear,
What death is like is very unclear,
Is there a Heaven ~ Is there a hell?
Unanswered questions ~ A fearful farewell. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 211 [topic] => 52 [informant] => tifrob [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

Unanswered questions ~ A fearful farewell.

Well written. I -like- to think we stay in character without the body until all those we've known and loved are also dead - and then we move on from that state into something else. But nobody knows.

I guess death is very scary for the ones who don't know what's there on the other side.
But trust me, all questions have answers.
Each and every one of them.

I relate to this poem very well. Many of those questions have gone through my head quite a few times. Death is one of my biggest fears. Just because I don't know what to expect and when to expect it. Take care.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
