From The Dark We Come And To The Dark We Shall Return

We come out of night.

Oh brief delight.

The song of the bird

A loving word

All are heard.

Nature’s scent

Our lives are spent

In joy and pain.

In the end ‘tis all the same.

From the dark womb

We come

For a time dally under the sun

Then to the tomb.

It is over all to soon.

      Thank you. I am looking forward to reading more of your writing. I also like sad poetry. If you haven’t already done so, you might like to check out the poetry of Ernest Dowson. I particularly recommend his “They Aare not long, the weeping and the laughter. Love and desire and hate. I think they have no portion in us after we pass the gate. They are not long the days of wine and roses. Out of a misty dream our path emerges for a while, then closes within a dream”. Kevin
