somewhere at the edge

Through the smoked filled space
pinned against an unforseen wall
... I stop to catch my breath
As the grey clouds swarm above my head
traveling along a neverending call
... the journey of death

I feel so close to the people I know
some still alive
others gone long ago
Their faces embedded in my mind
some harsh, some cold
some warm, some kind

I feel them all weigh upon my heart
at the last moment
as my breath thus part
I feel at a loss for what I have found
the experiences of them all
locked away, safe and sound

Perhaps we learn during these precious times
not living life to its fullest
is the worst of our crimes
As the smoke swarms more and more
the light dims, and I hear
the tide beat a distant shore

My time has come, I know its here
all pain is gone
not one ounce of fear
I feel reborn, all ready to start
my new life with new friends
of whom I shall never part

Oh my gosh...this poem is absolutely stunning. You take the reader upon a journey that goes from past to future with a feeling that all is well for this is not death but a new birth into another kingdom. Magnificent...I love it. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Death is such a confusing issue.  I like this perception.  I have long felt it to be a continuation of time on this planet, butt for so many it is a thing to be feared.

I really like thi...great form.
