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
