Faith in Dying
“It is the burden of life to be many ages
without seeing the end of time.”- Jim Harrison
When hot young blood courses through our veins
we never ponder there will be an end and then
the fragility of life brings an epiphany
The time of reckoning when life is almost done
no longer skipping and singing in bright golden sun
but decrepit and old with the grave beckoning
A sordid breeze of ancient heralds Azrael’s presence
no point in defying or hiding, for he will never fail
standing watch, awaiting the last breath
while we haven’t a clue of what the future will entail
All we have in the dying
hope holding onto faith
our souls will be wandering free

Childhood trauma had me contemplating death early. Now that I am much closer to it I seldom think of it except to know I am much closer in line.
