Poem Artwork

I used to measure age by years
But now I go month by month.
It seems that as the end draws near
My future has left its front.

My hope is when I acquiesce
Just like a loose roofing tile,
I’ll slide off into nothingness
No need to go in style!

Coming to terms with one's mortality is something we all must do...it seems Roof Tile expresses this superbly and with elegance.
Splendid write in my humble opinion. ~Z.B.McClure
