Thousands

Death, Tanka, World

Painting by Edvard Munch

Thousands of children die every day
Thousands of good people die every day
Thousands innocent voices which
Will never be heard again.
They are not stars
Just ordinary people.
Struggling for a better life.
No tribute,
But indifference
Yet they worth a star,
They enhance the world.

Death, Tanka

Painting Daniel Eskridge

We sail to nowhere,
Our destination is
The pure nothingness.

We will vanish in the mist
At the harbour of the rest.

Painting Karol Bak

I will dance my life
Until Lady of Sheol
Takes me to her room.

I dance with the shadows
In a world of misty dreams.

Death, Tanka

Death is my girlfriend
She awaits me in Sheol,
Smiling on her throne.

I quietly walk to meet her,
Dawn without tomorrow.

Lady Death

Death, Tanka

Elle viendra, un soir,
Pour me prendre par la main,
M’emmener au loin,

Vers son paisible royaume,
La terre du Port du Repos.
