To Where They Lead

by Kevin   Jan 24, 2005


The road is swallowed
at a pace that has no grace
save that it calls to mind
your frantic face
talking like the end was nigh!
hands that shifted
gems that shyed
it's a shame you made a choice
and died

the after silence
of your parting
new trains of thought
in me are starting
a lust for life
from death I'm given
I do believe I'm really living

yet the price is high
dear departed friend
if to feel life's pulse
emotionally mending
I had to watch your own life ending

    "save that is calls to mind
    your frantic face" that seems really awkward. Was there supposed to be punctuation, such as:
    "save, that is, calls to mind
    your frantic face"
    meh, but actually, I just don't understand the meaning of those lines, so I'm having trouble fixing it for you. Actually (sorry, I'm too lazy to delete the parts of my comment that not longer apply), I think that it should read
    "save that it calls to mind
    your frantic face" yeah I think the 'is' should be an 'it'

    "if to feel life's pulse
    emotionally mending"
    I feel like the "if" is out of place, and creates a thought that doesn't finish.

    I liked this poem. I was trying to figure out if the friend committed suicide, or if his life ending is metaphorical/symbolic (like dead as in he sees nothing in life), or if he died because of something he did. i kind of like the metaphorical one best.
