Surreal Funeral
Natal is fatal
Finish is final
A great undertaking
Breaking the death barrier
has an emotional G-force
Beliefs crash down
We all hold on
Then eventually
let go
~ Written in 1999 after my friend Ise died and currently printed in the November Museletter. More dVerse poets HERE.

Death is real
It comes without warning
No one escapes
Soon my body will be a corpse

the tick tock of the first two lines is very nice…and death is the great equalizer….

Excellent title…anyone truly living experiences death of loved ones as surreal. This is a tight pronouncement. *Like*

Great compression – the truth of a life’s experience. Done with panache and insight. Well done.
