In My Time of Dying

Palisades fall through the 
vastness of my vision. Unparallel equinox 
sooths the passing of my soul.
Blood races infinitely through my weakened body.
My thoughts begin to cloud. My heart beats are slow and heavy.
Emptiness before my eyes. 
An endless nightmare of unexpected calamity.
It ended suddenly and painfully.

Yet in my time, one thought remains 
heavy in my being
You. 
It is my last pain, my
last joy, my last hope.
My final breath is short but creates earthquakes 
in a land once loved.
I am not remembered.
