A Strange Farewell

 

As life draws to its weary close

that final horizon begins to unfold

It is as if I am elated and elevated

as I glance back with no scales on my eyes

or clouded vision but sheer clarity

My part in life's theatre has now taken shape

but no sense can be gleaned from this earthly tenure

With experience wisdom has been born

in a soul which is about to journey on

It has all been a transitory tale of woe

with nuggets of gold that spurred me on

My finite mind makes little sense of it all

as my soul becomes the driving celestial force

with infinite hope and raptuous potential.
