...no to any blondes out there, I didn't die, YET...


Poem Artwork

Came with no fanfare,
not did many seem to care,
I did go without flair,
following many others, my soul flittered into the air,
went out without a whimper,
to a new place I could call my lair,
not a cold hole in the ground,
started my journey there,
with a bonfire to celebrate my passing,
towards wherever I might be bound,
I died with my boots on and a smile on my face,
I lived the best I could considering the circumstance,
and so I died the same just a matter of happenstance,
don’t of me mourn, for of you I would not,
happy for me be, for of you I would too,
if you must cry do it in happiness,
do so without care,
and don’t in memories at my ashes stare,
I wouldn’t at you either stare nor feel your death unfair,
I would revel in your passing, and drink to your death,
That is how I would treat your last breath…

I appreciate the philosophical perspective that you have shared regarding your "death," Ed. Perhaps it is applicable to many. Thank you for sharing. Love and peace to you,

You have summed it up about as well as any I've ever read. And that rock of ages is a chiseled gem. You have miles to go before you sleep, and miles to go before you sleep...
