PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the end of a life

can be so very punishing

its like watching a painful

crawl to death's detached edge

one never truly realizes

until such degradation is witnessed

how frightening a prospect this is

fearful is the mind

of its body's eventual betrayal

upon the subject of aging

one can not help but feel

alone

in such abysmal ending

thank God

new beginnings are always

up ahead

just waiting

to be

ever more fully lived

one chapter ends

but another

sets the stage

to be written.............
