Life and death Poems
The Greatest Mystery
by Richard Randolph
The Greatest Mystery
Life is the greatest mystery of all,
a strange, magnificent blessing
that came from no one knows where,
and no one knows how.
Like many unexpected gifts,
often we don’t know what to do with it,
or what purpose it has – we have.
And it can be difficult, often painfully so,

Коли
сизою пеленою
заволочене яйце ока нового світу
викотившись із темряви
теплого гнізда
на світло
повчитись бачити
барви
одну за одною у білому
РОЗЛУПИТЬСЯ

Stroke of Breath
by Gus Krueger
Art is a masterpiece
When no change is needed
To understand
Is to draw the last breath
You Can't Outrun Death
by Jesus Betancourt
If you think you can live longer
Trying to overcome a force that is stronger
Beware you can't outrun death
Time runs out with your last breath
Throughout history snake oil peddlers were around
Trying to prolong life selling a remedy
To this date none can be found
So keep running to reach your longevity
A Mid-night Reflection on Life and Death
by Gangaram Bhattarai
When body dies;
when flowers shed;
when the cosmos dines;
when the sun fades-
icy shadows
and I, and my
consciousness be
a universe,
or part of it,
I will be gone.

For the last time/Востаннє ((in Ukrainian)
by Halyna Myroslava
і він видихався
ця швидкість була не його
і плутались кроки
і серце стискало без жалю
ховалося сонце лягаючи в очі на дно
і він відчував
що все далі від світу
все далі
і чув він як мозок
вже не відкидає шуми
