A Sweet Note On Death

Fresh Perspective

By Edgar Grove Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Utterance of fear is nigh, tranquility relinquished.

Lack of understanding, the processes of life repudiate.

Glimpse of moments— special, intimate scenery— relapse the mind. Breath after breath, a smile dismayed.

Certainly not ready, yet a faint sense of rest follows suit.

Quietly, the feeling of elastic bags being deprived of its oxygen, I now understand my moment of life is diminishing.

Not burdened any longer, I simply reminisce all that has been done; all I have met; and, all that I have experienced.

Certainly not ready, yet a strong sense of rest follows suit.

Inescapably, this time that has followed, I am well far from this place of bustling people, exercise, and life as a whole.

Try to grasp: I am at peace, no longer burdened by fear; no longer, avariciously, searching for gain; but, simply, I am in one accord with the One.

Certainly, I am prepared to meet this sweet note of death.
