End Incarnate

My timely death
What could it be?

Has fate predicted
The end of me?

I'm not clairvoyant
I cannot see.

Why must it end
So suddenly?

Why not undo life
Gradually?

Climb this great mountain
Reach for the top.

I'm not discouraged.
The day I drop

I'll simply return
And keep on this climb.

This is my reason
This is my rhyme.

Death on horizon
But not death of me.

I have one goal
One destiny.

As I rid my body of the world.
And bathe my soul in Light unfurled.

Now it's time I step in stride.
For now I see my path, my Guide.

Who leads me up the mountain,
Where I drink from the fountain.

Of His pure Love for me.
Now I rest for now I'm free.

Very compelling poetry, Yoni! You dig deep into one of man's greatest fears -- death -- and you come up with a journey that delivers life everlasting. Absolutely brilliant writing! Love, Carolyn

Jesus loves those who climb the mountain and drink from the fountain but not to drop as a fallen angel. Nice poem.
