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 slide 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 emptiness Only the angel of death 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 |

Pegasus, I for one, am very glad he doesn't speak with you..  I'd miss your words if he did...Very good read. It gave me chills. |

Pegasus; Your poetry, as always, is written beautifully. This one has a sad and dark message. I personally think you are much too hard on yourself. We've all made some bad mistakes. I will pray for a large dose of self-forgiveness for you this thanksgiving, I've needed it in the past, and when it was granted, I was reborn. Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

You must not have heard - all poets go to heaven!! And you'll be in good company. I hear Will has a Friday afternoon soiree that's a 'must do'! I enjoyed your poem by the way. And I am enjoying your website too! |

I wonder too what's going to happen to me after I die. Sometimes I think that's the only thing that unites people. Nobody really knows the answer to that question. Anyway. I enjoyed the imagery too.

Pegasus~ This is a wonderfully contemplative piece. I like pondering poetry - I do like this. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

peg, this was a most successful writing exercise in my opinion..i think most of us have asked the exact questions at one point or another.... hmmmm....not directly relevant but if the angel of death comes to visit me, i think the questions to which i will really like the answers to are:1)have i made a difference in this world?...2)will I be missed? thanx for the reflection  |
