Endlessly Continuing

• Artist: Zacharaia
• Description: "...Tis definite fate for life to end with death...." means that death is a common, unchanging fate for all life.
  "...But life shall begin again...." Death isn't a separate thing from life. They are intertwined. Life without death has no meaning, no purpose. And death is apart of life. But life continues and begins again with death's end.... It is life, time, and death in a harmony.
  And the poem is shaped kind of like an hourglass.

Through fingers you try to catch
The sand, the water that marks your death.
You cannot stop that which flows
Endlessly continuing
Unwinding ball of string,
Of yarn that knits history
Or mangled mess to be undone,
To be seen and solved,
Oh finally! Chaos calmed.
Wondering with such curiosity
For why such does it,
Does life go on,
Oh for what do we live
When to die with lives half lived.
Leave behind things yet done,
Leave behind daughter and son,
Leave behind our love, we're loved,
Leave behind the life half lived.
But why to live when fate is sealed,
Is stating all true to end all the same,
Tis definite fate for life to end with death,
But life shall begin again...

Interesting and complex. But understandable in a sense...
