A Song Before I Go (Epiphany)

�
Brother Ben, I have...
�
...worn your shoes
held in my hands �
your 7 pounds,
my life's desire
slowly �
winding �
down
�
�doctor my eyes
can not see the sky�
nor can I feel �
the warmth
of the golden sun....
�
�..I feel I'm slowly dying
�
angered,
possessing nonesuch �
self control
my love ones gone or going
my anchor can not
find the rock to hold
against the cruel winds blowing
�
(...and I have truly tried )
�
holding on to
life's most precious gifts
I am so unworthy to
cling to them as my feeble mind �
begins to drift
upon an epiphany
�
there is no stairway to heaven waiting for me

my field of dreams
having burned �
to the ground,
my want
of life and love
desensitized
�
and with the
remainder of
humanity that I have left
I give my soul,
my very last breath
�
to quench the sting
of loneliness,
lovelessness.......
�
...worthlessness
�
yielding my life,
my spirit
to those that still cling
to hope
and the belief in dreams
and that life still
�
has meaning and value behind jaded eyes....
�
�..and those not being mine
My soul has tread
but a weary path
and today, �
I �
choose �
to �
die.
�
�

......to "Seven Pounds", Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings (Requiem)" and this deep aura that my time is winding down. I can't escape it so I choose to pen these words.......hoping upon hope that this is not my truth 😞
