Beyond

The quest in Death.

Death you are a wish
That comes in a second
You carry me up
And put me in the coffin
To let my aching body rest
Beneath the soil with my name on the tombstone
As I sleep with others on the bed
They all whisper for a new journey
Of that one glorious day you will carry
Not the body but the soul
Leaving all my memory in whole
Please hold my fragile soul
For I think the journey is very cold
But let me say goodbye to this world
Especially to my decaying body
Who worked with my soul
But rest now and for ever

Death is terrifying and beautiful all at the same time, but I think it is very personalized to each soul, how close you are to it, how much you have seen it up close, how much it haunts your mind at night. This was beautiful and contemplative, although I hope death is not always lurking in your mind.. Enjoy life my friend... Very nice read.

Thank you falling leaf. Death is a part of everyones lives. Start and end. And don't worry death is not always lurking around my mind

I love the past part.
''Who worked with my soul
But rest now and forever''
Our bodies and souls are working a lot right now, keeping us alive in this world and fighting to not let us fall apart.
Good poem!

A very good piece about death. I love how you projected a relationship between body and soul. So many portray the soul after leaving the body, but not with the reference of the soul thanking the body for the journey. Very well thought out piece. GREAT JOB.
