absolution

...I believe it was Elvis who wrote and sang...and lifes a stage...

absolution


 


the music of cars on wet pavement


on a stage outside my window cast


whining tires to midnight’s rainfall


stir forgotten memories of the past


 


the reaper’s siren hits a high note


as life or death he makes the call


the extras hide behind their doors


their immortality to forestall


 


my aging character is played


like a prima donna’s final role


I give it all and take my bow


an offering of my very soul


 


now cue cards scatter to the wind


floodlit stars blink out one by one


the final curtain brings the ending


perhaps, perhaps final absolution

Very deep write, evident that your emotions run deep...it sounds as though you are tired, sometimes when we think we are ready to take that final bow, we get up with a surge of energy and a renewal that takes us another mile, I agree with Victor our final absolution should be the ultimate goal of making it home...Heaven! Great write very thought provoking and stirring.
Blessings,

Life does at times throw wicked curves at us and though we swing we don't get a hit. But Like the ball player there are nine innings in the game and some times the pitcher gets knocked out of the box. Life is like that I think. We find some predicaments that seem unsurmountable but when we explore all avenues there is always one that can be taken that can lessen or resolve that which we face. But it takes our full attention to investigate the course of action that will lead to this avenue of relief. Keep swinging the game is far from over.

Your sadness is evident and your consciousness is flirting with mortality. Although your poem is one of your best I'm more concerned with you. Take a day at a time. You know you can always talk to me.

Susan

This is an amazing poem. We all make choices in our life that change the very being of who we are. I have learned the past always comes up in the future somehow, but somehow we just have to make peace with it and know we are better because of it. Love this poem
Outstanding visuals
Excellent Imagery And Flow!!
