Thou art the pal whom I adore most, chick!
No need to live with thy for sheets o’ years
Pretty three, I could be intimate luck
Thy created diverse moments in my eyes
A bird flies a piece o’ message by fast
The sign which hurts me, unbelievable!
Sudden string draws hard my mind into past
O, the life works, unavoidable!
When the time has come, while the breath has gone
Then the Lord has taken a buddy’s lives
No mankind could resist Him, no bargain
My pal whom He wants back first, the princess
Deep condolence to the grief though no trust
Adieu dear, thy gone in peace by fast
Exposition:
This poem is actually telling about a poet’s misery in loosing her best friend because of death. She uses a diction “pal” means a close friend to show the distance. The first and the second stanza are the octave. The first stanza describes about how the poet’s experiences, while the poet was living with her friend, creating a good memory in her life. The poet uses “three sheets of years” to show the length she was alive with the pal. The second stanza describes about the chronological story when the poet knew the death news about her. She could not believe on what happened since everything done so fast. Furthermore, the last six lines are the sestet. This tells about how the death is actually a part of human being. In fact, there is a life so there is a death, that’s the law of life from the God. When it comes, no one could prevent the death. Those things make the poet trying to be conscious of it. Indeed, the poet is willing to accept that situation even though she still doesn’t believe that her best friend is dead leaving her. In the poet opinion, perhaps her friend is the choice woman that God wants her to return earlier then others although she is still young. A death never counts an age, that the conclusion.
