In that last leap
from the living to the dead
I shall not go in peace
But filled with fearful dread

let only darkness greet me
No lamp or light my guide
let me not hear or see thee
Grant that my soul and I,both died

And God smiled his terrible smile
And reached out his mighty hand
He made me see both what i am
And what i might have been

Arthur, a very interesting write
you have posted here.
These last three lines sum it all up,
and give it a good bold closing.
Enjoyed!

Indeed, a powerful closing.  This is an enjoyable read.  Provokes personal thoughts and fears of mortality.

I like the way that you say what needs to be said, without using up all the worlds words.
