In death we vanquished enemies, In death, we slew our foes. Blood soaked rage engulfed our blades, When blood lust took its hold.— In death, a darkness troubled one, In death, concealed, undone. Deep in darkness dragons wait, When blood would set the sun.— In death, we glorified his name. In death, we saw too late, When drink, to him, we raised in praise, The dragon sealed his fate.— In death, we lived. In death, we fought. In death, we grew to hate. In death, the blackened wraith released, The blinded shade beneath.— In death, his darkened eyes grew dim. In death, his mind was lost within. With blackened eyes, he slew his kin, In death, we lost to him.— In death, I took up sword and slew. In death, the dragon’s wrath ensued. We had no choice. The dragon fumed. In death, he was consumed.— In death, our brother’s blood deplored, In death, our brother, did I gore, When I rose up and killed one more. His blood ensconced my sword.— From death, his mutterings are weak. From death, his voice, to me, it speaks. Entombed within my brother’s keep, Revived in death, he sleeps. . Angela B. Chrysler
About This Quote

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working on this blog and I am proud to say that it is finally finished and ready for you to read. This post is about the meaning of death and how I tried to capture it through my poetry. Death can be a scary thing and if we do not understand what it is we do not know what will happen when we die. I wanted to show that you do not need to understand everything or even most things when you die.

You can still be proud of your life and the people that were important to you. The meaning of death is that we are all going to die and we can never know when it will be our turn for death to come knocking on our door. When we are living, our bodies give us life and when we die our bodies can no longer give us life.

We must find a way to live while we still have life in our bodies because everything has a beginning or an end no matter how long or short it may be.
