CONDOLENCE TO ASHLEY


Oren O. Cousins commented on Ashley's blog post

'Another Angel in the sky'

Death is an old awakening for the living,
A new home for the dead..
It is dangerous to be born,
And safer to be dead.
(From Morbid Verses) )

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
