To India-On Death, Part IV (7-17-13)

Sudden death in hockey
Sudden death in sleep
Sudden death in accident,
It's the violence! That's it!

Sudden high is not the issue,
If it takes you to the top.
Sudden fall might need a tissue,
Though the floor just might give ground.

It's the fear of the unknown
It's the fear of nearing end
It's all there, it has merit,
Still it's violence! I say.

Forceful taking of a life
Leaves bad taste inside a heart.
Melting into is quite lovely
Relaxation is rather loving.

It's the gradual ascend
It's the natural descent.
It's the easing of sensation
It's the opposite of tension.
That appears to be the ticket
To a life and death of freedom.
