Notes About The Poem

Dying In Your Arms

Dying in his arms
I remember everything
How he made me safe
As we searched among the stars
Far away from planet earth.

Distanced by visors
Each breath a deadly struggle
An indigo sky’s 
Three moons look down upon us
My life force dissipating.

Panic in his eyes
Our situation hopeless
Thoughts are all of him
Remembering everything
As the darkness closes in.

Confused, where am I?
Strong arms hold me tight
Breathing shared air together
We are alone ~ no rescue
Facing unknown together.


Below is a revised edition of the poem. I thought there was room for improvement. It was a tricky write.

FACING UNKNOWN TOGETHER
  
Dying in his arms
I remember everything
Our great adventure.

Far away from earth
We explored the galaxy
Mysteries revealed.

Curiosity
The force that drives us always
This was our downfall.

On a blue planet
We met predestination
Distanced by visors.

Panic descending
Remembering everything
Struggling for each breath.

Confused where am I?
Breathing shared air together
Alone,  no rescue.
