Even when sunsets kneel before the Night
and the sweetest verses no longer rhyme
and rowdy hearts, like horses in the wild,
gallop slowly and slowly to the edge of time;
even when bright days are dressed in grief
and only tombstones remember our names
as soon as we’ve withered like falling leafs
and joined the immortal souls wafting in space,
I’ll still be grateful to the odyssey of life
for the passionate love that’d come along
and the unwise promises that we’d recite;
and I’ll still be grateful to the death’s might,
which made unfamiliar my native tongue,
but kept the flame of your presence alight.
Beautiful 💙

Hello Roser!
I saw your post on Phoebe’s blog. This was a lovely poem that really shows a healthy relationship with death. Many of us are scared of it, when it is just the continuation of life.
I’ve shared your poem on Twitter too.

No doubt my mom would agree with this poem. She once said to me such words about death in Swahili though.
