Antiseptic, the smell of death

Lingering, acrid fumes invade

Thoughts, no longer the calm

Of a life, no longer vibrant

Bells, alarms, invading silence

Nighttime falls, eternal sleep

The room, stifling with stale air

Yet, a subtle breeze blows

As curtains hang, world-weary

Watching a soul fly, into the light….

 

Author’s note:  This poem came to me while I was in the hospital twice over the weekend.  I hope I don’t return anytime soon…

Carry me away on the wings of a cloud

The silence surrounding, ever so loud

Speaking in colors of pastel unknowns

Pinks and blues, in harmonious tones

Bathing in luminous, scattered beams

Drowning me in my forever dreams

That breathe the colors to make me whole

As I float along with Heaven’s soul

Calming repose, inhaling tranquility

On the wings of a cloud, whispered serenity

Whisk me away, upon whispering winds

Remove all the sadness, I am feeling within

Under the guise, of a clear, crystal blue sky

Let my soul, ever cloudy, break free and fly

I used my trusty compass to navigate, across the ocean blue

I brought along my mentor, so he could show me what to do

He pointed out all kinds of things, like the fish, and birds

Then said, “the sky’s the limit”, and in my soul, something stirred

Nestled between two forest giants
Lies the tomb of a mighty king
Buried years before our birth
Is now empty, missing
The ruling monarch
A mere spirit
Gathering
Human
Souls
Who
Wander
As they seek
The shaded day
Escaping the sun
Under lush greenery
Unaware of the trap set
They fall, endlessly, to their death
Never finding their way home again
