I go where death sends me

I have no wish
to remain
when time’s control
over mortality
collects me.

I’m inclined to agree. Plenty of hell down here. A little heaven wouldn’t go amiss. Nice bit of brevity Andrew.

Our Spirit is in Control... dying is a way to Sigh and become a Cloud where visions dream. Amen, Pat

Ah, but that our wishes in this matter would be consulted.

And what does not kill you, makes you stronger. Long live the Emperor if the Australian wonderland.

[Arundass TP]

The truth that death is inevitable. Just see the beautiful things all around before leaving. Good poem.

[andrew mitchell]

A very sage aceptance of the inevitable told in a short and expressive verse Andrew. We were over in your neck of the woods Last November/December.

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks John. Did you make it to Adelaide? Hope you had a good time.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

We did an excursion into the Adelade Hills that was not so exciting but did not venture into Adelade. We were on the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney before cruising around New Zealand, doing Cairns, Sydney for Christmas , Tasmania and then Melbourne. Loved Australia.

We live outside Hahndorf in the adelaide hills. Not the best in summer though. I love Tassie, done a couple of trekking tours through their national parks and the restaurants in the cbd of Melbourne are super. The Indian pacific from Perth to Sydney too long for me.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

The IP was three nights with no sleep (old rolling stock) but loads of champagne! Hahndorf sounds like it should be in Germany!

[andrew mitchell]

An old German settlement, first in South Australia at the time.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah! A bit like most of New Zealand and Canada have places with Scottish connections.

I like that reference..."collects me"

like what we can be sure of...death and taxes.

[andrew mitchell]

Yes death taxes ! What a cop out!
