DeathbedA Poem by Sarah MariePast mistakes will no longer seem
To matter much to me; When I die, I will only ignore The sadness hindering me From flying away and being set free; I will no longer know pain, Even that of the consuming flames Before they spread my ashes To a reaching, darkening sea; I will not feel the dirt blocking my air Or know the splinters of a wooden bed, My mind at rest during the pastor's prayer. Before I die I will see the sun fall, Wish me goodbye and send the stars To watch over me during my final breath; Before I die I will sense a storm, Hear the angels' harmonious call, Hear the demons' screaming pleas, Choke on my dying wishes, See the reaper coming for me. © 2012 Sarah Marie |
