No Victory for you,DEATH

personal struggle..and opinion on death

I'm diseased..not ready to die
to be deceased is to give in to
oblivion
to live and let die,is to say you're
weak
and death is your master
hope is an elixir to life
but will is the propeller.
I refuse to lie subject..
to the torment of my body's
weakness
suffering may beat my body
perforate my flesh with sores
take my life,erase me from the
earths face..
but..
my soul stands firm
and death has no winner here.
my conscience never dies
and it immortalises with my soul
shame and strife
pain and writhing
frail and weak
hopeless and in despair..
I may seem...
but my glow is for a purpose
that the LORD is my fortress
and the keeper of my soul.
Death cannot pounce upon it.

it is a personal struggle..with life threatening diseases and situations.
the will to live has sustained me..

its never over till its over:-)

"do not go gently into that good night" as dylan thomas wrote.

we battle, that is what we do...no matter how weak the odds.

not just against physical death, but mental and emotional as well.

nice write.
