I got so inspired by Joel's poem, that it pulled out the creativity in me! He encouraged me to post it, so here goes....This is a from the view point of us facing our own death. Thank Joel for your graciousness and your gift....you are truly an inspiration to us all here, and an AWESOME poet!!! She came again, dressed in black Like so many times before Haunting my vision with her beaconing look Her eery whisper, I faintly recall Although she has visited many times in my dreams This time, slowly, I draped myself in grave clothes I knew just what to do, for she was my guide Then, I solemnly and anxiously awaited As I placed my heart on a shelf Thinking safe keeping is the order I readied myself for the call As I put on my shoes, I soon traveled on Towards the darkness I knew was inevitable Yes, I knew it would envelope me soon I went to say goodbye to time here and now This death angel, accompanying side by side I traveled far in my thoughts to get there She stood still, as we set sail for the other side Cold as ice, while shivering me to the bone Silence, I could cut with a knife There was no escaping her presence It had taken hold, and seized me still It awakened me with the reality of..... Numbered are my days, yes my number was up She smiled so sweetly and serene As she promised me peace & joy She took me by the hand and led me Luring me, into her unknown world She held me tight to her bosom How can I struggle free, paralyzing my thoughts? Her deadly sting will poison all, yes, all in due time Then she soon intoxicated me to follow her path Death is her wish, and she would not be denied The finality of her power is like no other No one ever wins her final fight Darkness looms when she shows up Only God holds the final light! So within her presence, I shake and tremble As I try to defy her every whim But I know one day she will visit My life, for all eternity to win Yes, to her it ultimately belongs So I will not get to struggle or debate Just live today as if it were The very last day, Before....... Before, she whispers my name this final time Before, it is too late to live life another breath It's curtain time And she says..... The simple words, "It's time to meet your final fate!"

~Eeekkk,...goosebumps here.  The two of you have done an amazing job painting a picture of this concept in my mind. Very talented poets I must say. Thanks for the new found fear you have entered into my mind,...  gosh,...something else to worry about. |

All my love kid, You have done such a wonderful job on this, I fade to your backside with a holding hand. Thank you for your inspiration on this poem. Now throw me your leg I'm going to chew it off. hahaha Really a great post. Anytime. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
