Realities died long ago,

buried with his beloveth wife.

Challenging fears and loneliness

beat where his heart once was.

Foundation for living crumbles at his feet.

 

He balances between living and dying,

a journey that seems inevitable.

Blossoming memories and gentle smile

lights the way to the catacombs

where he will reunite with her radiant beauty.

 

Estuary of emotions overflow

as he enters his final resting place.

A  warm glow causes him to perspire.

Feeling uncanny he falls to his knees.

A vision of loveliness appears.

 

Superstitious doubts corner him,

blocking his way to her side.

Endearing expression touches him.

Eyes full of pride speak to him,

telling him that his time has not come.

Hopelessness washes over him

as he reaches for her.

 

He cries,

and still balances between living and dying,

a journey that seems inevitable.

Great piece! I think death is something that everyone thinks about from time to time. We always wonder if there really is the other side. This poem brings a positive opinion that even though it is sad. Loved it!

This is awesome! A sad story of a loved one gone on before and trying to balance a life full of longing for that person and moving on in life.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very sad poem. Grief is a hard part of a life. We will all learn the emotion. The poem told a sad story. Sometime people can heal. Some people just pass the time till they can find the person they miss and need. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
