Entwined

The specter of death

Watching over me

In my final hour

Seeing all I must see.

 

Flashing images

Of years past

Playing my moments

First to last.

 

 Life’s beginning

With one sharp breath

Life’s ending

With a note from Death.

 

The spaces between,

My memories

Events in time

Like emery’s.

 

Substantial and permanent

Never yielding to time

No erosion, no loss

Just a natural sublime.

 

Seal them inside

My dying mind

So forever

Life and death entwined.

 

 

 

Author's Note

emery's- a hard gary-black mineral
Sublime- worthy of adoration or reverence

[Cool Handless Luke]

Couldn't help but think of Emily Dickinson which is a good thing. Very well done with a great flow to it.

[Jimmy Greenie]

that is a really nice poem. I don't think there's anything to criticise there. Really nice.
Good words. Nice rhymes. Well done!

Feeling a little Mellon Collie when you wrote this?
I loved how you used the rhyme in this and one
line caught my eye especially .......

" Life's beginning
With one sharp breath
Life's ending
With a note from Death."

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

When it comes to our souls life and death are not that different... for what we take from life we leave with loved ones after we pass... a powerfully intriguing piece.
