Notes About The Poem

Image result for Pictures of heaven

Heaven Greets

The broken limb hangs by a gnat's breath
waiting for a wind
To stir the leafy attached limbs
releasing it to blend

Back into the soil of the earth
Giving of itself again
Its life used to give up oxygen
Now grow life where it has been

Cataract grows where lens did work
Knuckles ache, also the feet
Heart grows weak; getting time to sleep
Live goes on, but heaven greets
