When the angel of death
finally knocks lightly
at my door
and beckons me to follow

When the tally book is opened
by those bony fingers
and they scrape slowly
down the columns of my life

Adding, subtracting
assigning a score
deciding my fate
for all eternity

What will I feel
when I arrive
at my destination
will it be remorse

Will I find the peace
that eluded me in life
will I have friends there
or will I be alone

Will the sun finally shine
upon this troubled soul
riddled with the mistakes
of a lifetime

Or will the total darkness
of oblivion
cover me with
the endless sleep of emptyness

Only the death angel
knows for sure
and...alas
he speaks not to me




the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

What a powerful poem! Your questions are none any one mortal can answer, you shall not know until that day when death politely knocks. And I should pray you don't know any time soon. Your poem was excellent and very thought provoking! Keep it up! Love Always ~*~Jessica~*~

Pegasus111,
Great poem. I really liked the ending keep up the good work my friend.

Dreams are the the gateways to making the impossible possible
So many words, for the broken heart...

I should say let's call it the life Angel for that's as I BELIEVE in eternity.

"Only the death angel knows for sure
and alas he speaks not to me."
I certainly hope not because if he does you might not like what you hear.  He might say hey... today is the day...now get your self over here..right away...ha..ha..I found this interesting...I look forward to a spiritual life after my body dies...we all know our birthdate but none know their death date. We can't die until we die but we will die when we die...and we will... James
