Life

It was fear
And wonder
That drew me to last
Approach the
Coffin
And place my trembling
Hand on his chest.
The lack of
Heartbeat
Lifted the awe from
Cold reality.

Death
Illuminates
Life.

Jake. Your uniqueness and brilliance shows through in your poems and that makes them as deep and thoughtful as they are. Keep them coming. I like how this is short, staight, to the point, and based off of a real experience.
