Epitaph of Man


As scattered light
Spread by the dawn
Infused in nature
We are born


As grey clouds cross
A winters sky
With silver streaked
We live and die 


As cold winds blow
The flurried snow
Into the night
So we must go


But not before 

Our time has come
To touch the earth
To feel the sun


Our colours mixed
Our brush out flung
Our canvas painted
With no plan


And yet so

 beautiful

This life
Of
Ordinary

Man

this makes me think that you are contemplating life

and death

(amongst other thoughts, that is)

I,LTV,
Don't worry - You know I am always contemplating life and death - We have to - essential to understanding and it makes life a bit more of an exciting journey (not that I am bored of course!)
Sincerely
