BENEATH LIVE SKY

The dead tree
House's live birds
Pecking dead worms
Under live sky

The dead worms
Not even memory now
Will live on in
The birds somehow

But they won't 
Because the birds will die
As all things do 
Beneath live sky

A black cat
In bushes wait's
To catch the bird
To fill her plate

The dead birds
Not even memory now
Will live on in
The cat somehow

But they can't because,
The cat will die
As all things must 
Beneath live sky

A human waits
Upon the lawn
She ponders all
Beneath live sky

She calls the cat and,
Shoo's the birds
She tries a prayer
But is not heard

She know that she
Will one day die
Like cat worm bird
Beneath live sky

All memory gone
All things will die
She kissess cat
Beneath live sky

Maths has never been my strong point .. but ya don't have to be Einstein to know that all this stacks up ..

Oh' n tell me pray, was it, in truth, 'originality' that killed the cat .. If so, BENEATH LIVE SKY takes the biscuit and wins today's originality prize ........................ AGT's Neville :) x

Think I'm just trying to say that memories are pointless painful things given that everything dies without trace...eventually. Once a person is no more everything ceases to exist ...thoughts, feelings, memories, moments...all gone forever...thanks Nev x

memories go.
Accept that the past
will never be the future.
Stop going back to
what your heart is
trying to heal from.”
