In the End

My body is placed on the pyre Releasing my soul to the wind Sacrificed unto the fire That's where my next life begins I soar up into the heavens Like the smoke that rises above My wings are that of the Phoenix My soul is that of a dove I don't feel the pain of my sorrow In fact, I'm feeling relieved No-one could ever imagine The joy that I have received You can cry your tears of rememberance But keep persuing your dreams We'll meet again at your hour Where the willow touches the stream Rockman :-)

Just a comment about your comment below. Sometimes I write the last line of a poem before I ever find verses to fit. Apparently I'm fine with endings. I enjoyed this very unique expression

Thanks Ilene. I wrote this poem but never finished it because I couldn't come up with an end. My notebook laid at my feet for about 4 or 5 days while I typed on the computer. I kept glancing at it wondering how to end it. Then in a flash it came to me. I wonder if you and other writers go through that. Thanks for reading. Rockman
