Height
grown to a limit
til out of sight
disappointment
cricket speaks; nothing comes cheap
even if you don’t agree
your; my story is complete
we are lost
world no longer at our feet
listen to it
the heart beat
slowing every minute
sooner no later
stops… fades
pre-planned to disappear
disperse, deceased, gone
no more together
no more alone
no more you or me
peace…
tranquility

**********
I have grown or lived to my potential. As I am leaving this life. In my last moments I think about the world and what it has become, I think of the things my elders have said and no matter how much I tried to ignore what they said. I find myself quoting what they said. I think of my life. The good and bad and what it cost me to live the way I did. The world has become so off track with what we as humans really need. I am dying, the world is dying. I already know that everything must come to an end, even me. As I fade and enter eternal sleep.
I have never been afraid of death, and I never have understood the reason to want to cheat death. As long as I could remember, or as soon as I had a true understanding of what death was… It was clear that we all are going to get there one way or another. Why do some of us dread something as huge as death, which is something we have no control over, something everyone will at some point experience. No exceptions.
As Always…
Stay Positive!
