Imagine …
You fall asleep
and as you slumber
you dream of dying
In a different bed
at a hospital
clad in nothing
but a johnny and …
Clad in the wrinkles of years
you begin to wonder
about that moment when
you’ll lie before death's door
waiting …
Will your life flash
before you like a high-speed
biopic film
as some claim without proof?
Will you feel terror or peace
or a bit of both?
Perhaps what you feel most
is conflicted and lost.
An unknown noise
jars you wake
disoriented
You rise and look outside
the predawn sky glows
you smile relieved
it was all just a dream
You’ll brew a pot of coffee
and celebrate the sunrise
to welcome the new day.
I agree. Death is inevitable, so why lose sleep over it? You do the the best can you with what you've got, and be thankful for that. We've all experienced ups and downs, and disappointments. Some of us have been far more fortunate than others. But material success and wealth is no guarantee for a "good life." There are more important things.
all a dream and over before you know it...
