Estate

Sitting, wondering what comes next
This life has passed me by
Both old and new now seem complex
With self I can't abide

Verdant green and musty brown
Scent of moulded leaf
Flies buzz and maggots abound
Feeding on my grief

I feel my body slowly die
Alone inside my shell
Solitary boat I ply
On the Shores of Hell

Kilt, plaid, and balmoral
Sheafs of poetry
Bone shards in the wall
Is that's left of me

Can you play the bagpipes? I hear them in the background playing "Amazing Grace"... good poem!
