Curtains

Close

first step in my final journey stairway to universal consciousness celestial light lures wonder captivates life’s silent movie images rerun, stimulating recollections no loved ones left behind faint glimpses ahead cherished souls linger in paradise spirits wait for my entry Earthly orb below grows vague colors begin to darken even Giza's pyramids Eiffel Tower Broadway lights worldly realm's trappings fade my spirit moves freely no legacy do I leave just one final kiss one last tear carried upon swiftly vanishing memories curtains of wondrous night close

You illustrate so well the heartbreaking finality we, as mortals, face. So inevitable it feels that we must take those steps in your photo..so sad but so real. A winning poem you wrote, Carolyn.
