Death
One more heartbeat in my chest,
one more softened silent breath,
closing eyes find rest
welcoming death.
If I can,
the final sleep of unfilled dreams
will slip away as planned;
tossing and turning on starry lit beams.
You need not cry,
wipe the tears away
we all are destined to die
going toward it every day.
Listen to its silence
the rapture of the prayer
embrace it with no defiance
in a moment, heaven is there.
