Between life and death
Lies a place
Of warm sunshine
And gentle smiles
A place with no grief
Nor sadness
Nor despair
A place of serenity
Of quiet
Of perseverance
Between life and death
You are safe
From miseries of living
And regrets of dying
Safe
And sound
And secure
And dreaming
Between life and death
You can just dream
Of a warm, quite place
Before waking up
And finding yourself
Back in the cold clutches of hell.
I like the themes of color, sunshine, and nature running through your submissions. This is a powerful depiction of a person who’s life is seriously sad, but we learn about it from their dream. It’s a great idea. Shocking ending to this one. Nice job.
