The I Know Not What

[RiversClearwater]

I wrote this for my dad for comfort just yesterday, his mom (my grandma) has an inoperable cancer and it's really weighing heavy on him

And as I venture into the I know not what,
I carry with me not fear nor grief.
For these are trivial earthly possessions,
of which I have no need.
I can only ask the same
of my friends,
who shall join me in due time.

I really enjoyed this, you have a really good lyrical quality with your words. I hope your dad found comfort from your poem and that you did as well in writing it.

I like this a lot. You expressed so much emotion, and said so much, with so few well chosen words, so clearly, so presicely, and so elegantly. It is very Zen.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. I wish your family the best.
