Topic for Creative Writing

Death has not taken you away from man;

     you challenge him to think more,

about hereafter, the promise of destiny,

     and eternity, emptiness of the future.

The moon and stars still hang out in the sky,

     claimed by the proud their own;

symbols then of a beautiful life and living;

     now sad, abandoned, forlorn.

Dr Abe V Rotor
