Life’s tower wilting by the hour
Life at first builds
up into a
tall tremendous
tower getting
stronger by the hour .
But time took
its usual
toll and it
started to wilt away
to the weak
feeble flower.
That
willingly lets death devour
it down to a
measly sickly
seed that lies
deep within the land
of yesterday .

Life's Tower Wilting by the Hour
Hi, Edward,
In just a few words, you successfully built the tower and then completely wilted it - I could feel the sadness and devastation of it all. "...deep within the land of yesterday." Strong ending.
Thank you,
L

Thank you
I got the idea from Benjamin button the one thing the end and the beginning have in common
Is that you begin with nothing and then you end with nothing.
Hlm life without literature is a life without logic.
