Beautiful Death

A Poem About Life and Death

By Thomas TerryPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

The leaves are a funny thing

In the spring they’re nothing

Starting so small to turn so big

They’re so full of life they are

But as the time comes we get bored

The leaves are no longer magical

They’ve lost their meaning when they begin to change

Red Yellow Orange Brown

We fall in love with these new colors

We fall in love with the face of death

The leaves dying to preserve the tree

Such a selfless sacrifice

Death is beautiful, why we find it oh so beautiful

To die as a gift, it’s like none other

Why would you do it, why would you follow through

Giving up your life for me

Am I really worth that price

You left the father to die for me

What a gift that is

Is it just me or does anything mean anything?

Is everything just nothing

Does this life have a purpose?

Or are we just making it through

Why is it that everything’s gonna be alright

Is just a cover-up

A way to make you feel good in the moment

It means nothing to me

You just let it pass your lips as a meaningless expression

What is life, what is it’s meaning?

Falling to the ground losing its beauty

Death looks fun to play with

It starts so beautifully but ends so dull

My life is worth so much more than everything

Everything means something, I just can’t figure it out

God gave me this life so I should treasure it

It’s a gift that I much accept

It may get hard and not be perfect

But fight through and when God calls you, death will be beautiful

It is a passageway from this earth of misery to heaven that’s unexplainable
