IT'S TIME TO GO

Facing the sunset of life.

I've spent too much time believing in dreams
While wandering through time
Catching a falling star with
A sigh and a promise.
~~
It does not matter.
It's past time.
It can't be helped.
~~
It's time to go.

I feel like the poem is accepting of death, while at the same time a little melancholy about the concept as well. Lines like "It can't be helped" point to the narrator's slight disappointment perhaps about their own life, that maybe they have a few regrets or something.

"catching a falling star with a sigh and a promise"

and then maybe we find that we are the falling star, and our night is thrown into the darkness of death...

"it's past time" as if we have lived a longer life than most...

this sounds like Sexton a bit...not so much a suicide poem...but facing death without fear...and feeling that we have nothing more to contribute.

(not so much a suicide poem...but facing death without fear...and feeling that we have nothing more to contribute.) Your quality of interpretation is spot on Jacob. Thank you for reading and commenting! ~Sharon
