Lips so blue

Cold shroud no warmth in you
The stench of reapers breath
That suffocates my brain
Those Dark shadows that linger
Where there should be none
And could it be my time
None too soon those few that say
And will I see another dawn
Or take my flight like blackest rook
A chill that runs an icy brook
Lips of blue seek one last kiss
Behind the lids my eyes still wander
And with first light my soul has gone
Short time on earth my time is done

Extremely melancholic, dear Michael. A very different poem than your usual ones, even though excellently written as we expect from you. But then we all have to cope with such experiences sooner or later and we are in the grip of sadness for the unknown that hovers upon us.

Some say we decide our time to move on, but we can't fully understand it in this dimension.

May there be light and healing.

This feels sad, but I can say it expresses a wistful resignation to the eventual fate of leaving this life, but with no regrets for living it well.
good write.
