Death

Death ......

I know I am dying, in all sense
what will be left, an empty body
lighter and quieter than I am

I close my eyes, await for the death
each time I accept the death, part of me dies
with every passing breath, I exist
every passing moments, brings me closer to death

Serene waves now hitting the shores, making the noise
waving in succession, spectacularly,
rolling and rosing over the shoreline

I am the river, gyrating
upstream and downstream
with my own current
In the search of sea, to converge

I am weightless, diminutive, amorphous,
Liberated, detached and rejoicing

Begining of unloosening,
seeking salvation
shodows and chasms
releasing with sweet spasms
Lightsome, alighting
unwavering hope of resurrection
in the next life

Some really amazing lines in that Death verse, I liked the "quieter than I am". eekdum ORIGINAL.Takes a while to understand, honestly its looks like there is much more that you want to say,some of them I thought just ended abruptly.
Keep them comming.

splendid!!
i liked the part when u said.. that u r converging with the sea.. you do hear the waves.. u r getting close by..
it certainly gives u the experience of a wholeness..
i generally dont like blogs that talk about death..
but this one is put forth well.. i loved this one
