Adjusting to Death

Your eyes were half-closed when the darkness claimed you,

It was a sad event, wouldn’t you agree?

Oh, how it must have felt to have your eyes glaze over,

Or perhaps being numb was the most horrific part?

 

I do recall my own passing,

What happiness it brings to remember now!

Leaving the world permanently was not ghastly,

In fact, it was quite superb.

 

I believe the worst element was the blindness,

Maybe the lack of sensation, too ---

Ah, but it does not matter now,

Seeing that you are here with me at last!

 

I know I have missed much and that you were angry,

But we have eons of time to catch up!

It’ll take you some time to adjust, I know,

Death is not easy to grasp.

 

But follow me now, dear friend,

I solemnly swear you can trust me,

Let’s sit down and talk, as we used to,

You can meet the Devil later!

This was a good poem. I don't think it is strange...it's just that people are just getting so used to death, but it is very sad. I liked this though. Thanks for sharing. :D
