We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Weight

Gravity

Pulls the muscles

Weighting down

An aging mind,

Tired body-

Like lead sinkers

Drowning in the deep river

As Our Light Dims

As Our Light Dims

Going down hill
The future seems so much bleaker
Going down hill
our eyes reveal no joyful thrill
As the fading light grows weaker
Silence becomes the featured speaker
Going down hill
