My Last Day to Live

“My last Day to Live”

 

 

He whispers in my ear

It’s time to bring you home

The prince of darkness

Is casting shadows of demons over you

~

You have finished your time

Now it’s your time

To say goodbye

To all your friends

Friends you love

~

This is my extended version

Of time

Your prayer, granted

For many know not the day or hour

That I come

~

This is who I am

This is for all

Who I love

~

We don’t say goodbye

Goodbye is not in my vocabulary

My dream

Is to share the love with all of you

~

Spending solitude time

With my lord and savior

Thanking him for a prayer granted

I wake up to catch

Gods painted sky

Unfolding

Unto darkness

~

The silhouettes of nature

Embraced by the warmth

Of his sun

Nature spreads her wings

In awe of a beautiful sunrise

Walking the shoreline,

Feeling the sea embrace my feet one last time

~

A seagull soars high above

Sending me signals

In natures own language

Telling me, everything will be alright

~

I ask God to show me the gift of a child taking there first steps

Again

He does

I smile

~

I ask God to let me hear the cry of a new born baby

He does

I smile

~

I ask God to put a woman

On the final crossroads of this day

One of many that I can embrace

That’s ill

Sharing the love of two souls

Embraced with one another

He does

I smile

~

I ask God to do the same with a man

He does

I smile

~

I ask God to show me love

Walking hand in hand

Showing true love

The love of a man and woman

He does

I smile

~

I ask God for all these things in solitude

To express my feelings as I sit and watch my last sunset

The same sunset he use to open this heart of mine

Pulling me out of the deepest depths of my own dark soul

~

Weeping asking for his forgiveness

Bringing my life out of darkness and into his light

He does

I smile

~

These are my final words

Words of love

To say it’s a new beginning

Nothing to be afraid of

Be happy

Share love among each other

~

Life is short

We know not the day

That we will be in awe of his presence
