Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Will Die Eagerly

I will die eagerly, 
ready to go, 
surrounded by neons
faeries, elves, imps

I will die happily, 
in my own way
lying next to my garden
surrounded by orbs

I will die gracefully,
gladly and fully ready
adoring the heavenly
ancestors who come fetch me.

I will die with a smile 
remembering my phenomenal 
fantastic make believe world
my family, and my friends.

Darlene De Beaulieu September 4, 2019 at 1:35 PM Hello Caren, well this poem is not morbid it is cheery. Well I see it this way. Have a nice day my friend. Hugs. Darlene Caren Krutsinger December 13, 2019 at 6:47 AM I was trying to help make death happier! Thank you for letting me know I may have accomplished it.

Susan Jeavons September 1, 2019 at 9:25 PM Poems about death are usually rather morose. Your's is sort of playful. I like it Caren. Hugs, Susan Caren Krutsinger September 1, 2019 at 9:59 PM Death to me is just "death of the flesh" - since I do not believe in soul death, it is easy to be playful with it, Susan.
