Before Last Breath
Before last breath, he finds a quiet space
As time's arc has reached its final expanse
Traveled trails from life are etched in his face
His sense of mortality is enhanced
On the long road, his heart had been assailed
Left to bleed memories that stabbed the mind
Where forgiveness was asked for times he failed
An enduring pain to always remind
Yet, could he have known a life more sublime
As he chased moments of laughter's sweet guise
His passionate heart wrote poetic rhyme
Read to the lovers who welcomed his eyes
This evening falls dark to replace the light
As his eyes close slowly with life's twilight
