Do Not Go Raging into That Good Night

           (Form: Villanelle)

Do not go raging into that good night
Old age should be gentle at close of day,
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.

Unwise though at their end claim light is right
And they expect that the divine grace may,
Do not go raging into that good night.

Gentlemen in their just wisdom so bright
Act like they got to live no other way,
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.

Sinners in their gross transgression so blight
and die beneath their spiritual sway,
Do not go raging into that good night.

Somber men left to mourn the endless night
Their Souls wander astray when they should pray,
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, give up your sad plight
Bless me with your contented smile, I say
Do not go raging into that good night
Hush, hush against the dying of the light.

~(In response to:
Dylan Thomas "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.")

Dear Poeter, Life is so weird. The man who is gifted with the miracle of birth in this world struggles from the beginning of love in the mind to the limit of life set aside in the journey of life. When the mind is immersed in something called loneliness, many human beings surrender themselves completely into something called sin. The lives of billions of people who do not fully understand life are hidden in the sinful pit of deep darkness. This poem makes me think a lot. All The Best My Dear Friend; Write More Congratulations
