I Know About Life
I've been writing a lot about love
recently
love lost forever
love found, but still in the air
but what do I know about love?
I know about death...
it comes quickly
like a typhoon in the East China Sea
it is upon you before you know it
and leaves no where to turn
or it creeps up slowly
and stares you in the the eye
for many moons

I know about life...
so much I know about life now
as I round the bend and
head for the home stretch
it is whole and completely
who you are,
the life you lead
the wake you leave behind you
in the world
the sum of which will be
your days

I know this thing called love
is boundless
we love because we live
and we live instead of dying
I do believe that
she knew more than I
and I know that
I loved her 'til death
and beyond
just as I ever
loved the sea

Kit I really love this one...I may have to take it to read to my dad...who's STILL living on an island out in the Caribbean with his brother (both over 80!) still doing what they do best...living off the sea. I am completely in love with Her Majesty, the sea.

Biography: I'm just a guy, HAPPILY married ten years (thank you--throw money, not flowers) with three kids tryin' to get by on a wage that stays the same in a world where prices simply don't. (You know the story). I love the out-of-doors, and in-of-books. I am a wordsnob and a vocabulary geek; I have a very off-kilter sense of humor based mostly in liguistics and the appreciation of the non-sequiter.

Kit:

This sad bit of poetry resonates in me strongly. My wife is my other half, and thoughts of losing her fill me with despair. We DO love till death...and beyond. You state this well. And you build us up to this final note with hints of catastrophe, like the typhoon. That metaphorical foreshadowing is well-used here.

The tone of this poem is sad, but not morose. There is acceptance here. And of course, the feeling that the love carries on, which buoy's the reader and speaker both beyond the loss.

Well written, my friend, and powerful.
