Last breath

entry picture

A culmination of my mortal wealth

The final veto of this body’s health

On this concluding course, I’ll steer the helm,

Towards divine perfection in heaven's realm.

Pleasures once played forcibly reduced in speed.

Aches and pains scream, “You fool, take heed.”

Sat alone at ease, awaiting death’s forecast.

Whilst silently reminiscing about a time long past.

No time now for regret or for wondering why

No time now for tears nor to say my goodbyes

death

A time when our fates are truly in the lap of the God/s. Well written JD.

I think this poem will be what most people feel as they approach the end of their mortality. The heart stops beating and a new episode begins, far removed from this mortal coil, or so I believe.
Thank you for a poem to reflect on.
Keith
