Optimism about one's ability

I’m coming into a gladness,

Coming into Gladness


I’m coming into a gladness,
A particular wave of understanding,
That seamlessly molds me into a future
While I wile away in present tense.

Here a breath, there a breath,
Vision that clears all clouds of doubt,
As though I’m ergonomically fit for soul,
A laugh solidly heard around the universe.

If you don’t mind I’m bowing out,
A telltale warning creeps upon my breast
To many words spoils the idea,
Hush! I hear nothing coming my way!

[Louise Ayres]

Is this about dying? If so, I find this a calming, butersweet story of contentment, surrendering the body to the universe and separating it from the soul "As though I’m ergonomically fit for soul,". Or, I've completely misunderstood the meaning of this beautifully written poem!

I didn't think of it that way but now that you mentioned it. Yes, it could mean that very thing.
