DEATH OF A MILLION EVILS
Your birth marked the death
of the 'endless' pain
The cries of the evil
subdued, they went to vain
My joy was born"
with your very first cry
with you, 'my joy' was immortal
swore to never die
So, if death takes you
I shall follow thee
for without you,
I sink, even in the shallowest sea

I've always loved the way poets use something that's seen as dark or gloomy to express a feeling that's completely opposite to that. A Hemlock tree, that has been nothing but a poisonous fragment of nature for many was described as a reservoir of peace for the disheartened heart by the one and only, Robert Frost in his magnificently written poem 'Dust of Snow'.
I have tried to apply that style to this very poem by using terms like "death" and "evil" to symbolize something that goes way beyond those words.
Hope you like it!
