Poem Commentary

This is the 4th poem in a series dealing with depression ... This one expresses the Feelings of those left behind. =============================================== The 1st is Maybe Tomorrow, The 2nd is On The Cliff's Edge and the 3rd is In My Desperate Hour

In A Blink Of An Eye

A Silent Weep ~
A Stifled Cry
Swallowed Heartache
A Single Sigh.
No Time To Heed ~
A Long Goodbye,
Death Comes Swiftly,
In A Blink Of An Eye.

A Life Taken ~
 So Quick - So Fast
One Symptom Known
A Troubled Past.
No Time To Love ~
To Grow - To Share
Just Suffering,
In Painful Despair.

How Can One Be ~
So Lost In Self
So Desolate,
Without Farewell?
To Leave Behind ~
No Trail - No Clue. 
And Nothing But,
Sadness And Gloom.

Asked The Question ~
No Answer Found
Just Emptiness,
And Grief Surrounds.
The Hearts Of Those ~
You Left Behind.
Death Comes Swiftly,
In A Blink Of An Eye.

Thanks Franz for reading this series .. it really means a lot to me. Unfortunately, I believe we all have experienced this in our lives. Suicide is such a selfish act that is committed by cowards. It leaves those behind with so many questions, causing others unnecessary pain and anguish. Depression can be beat - we just need to fight it and not give in. Thanks again for taking the time to read this series Pal, Much Appreciated! :) Ken

Thanks Angel, Suicide has got to be the worst.... It leaves the one's who are left behind, with so many unanswered questions and inflicts them with so much unnecessary pain. It's the most cowardess and selfish act that I know of. Thanks again for your wonderful comments! :) Ken

this is very well put together in word-images and theme. It moves deliberately to deliver a sober, relevant message to us, as readers, and co-miserates. thanks for asking me to read, Ken! 10

Thank you Marsink for the read and comments. I appreciate it very much! Ken

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
