I always liked science fiction, fantasy, magic and all that stuff.
One of my favorites is the Dragonlance novels, which is where I got most of the poems. They really have a way of creating poems that I've never encountered.
Although there are other series of books that have poems, like Tolkien for example, they never manage to feel so real or able to apply on a daily basis.
One sentence that really got to me from Dragonlance was : "We do not mourn the loss of those who die fulfilling their destinies."
When do you know you've fulfilled your destiny? And when do you get to know what is your destiny? Anyway, the sentence doesn't really apply to us, but to someone near us: a friend or a relative. How can we be sure they've fulfill their destinies?
This particular sentence is applied, in the book, to a person that has lived a honorable life but for a single purpose. That purpose, that example, will be remembered for generations to come although at the time of that persons death that is not obvious.
Somehow I feel in me that the sentence is true, we should not mourn. For that is exactly what all, who have died and that we remember with grief, have given us.
This came out even better than I thought... I must be getting poetical.
Next time I'll write in Portuguese.
