Into the Light of Trust

one of us
some day
will go first
into the realm
we know as death

brave
no idea
what is to
become of us
through the process

one day
holding hands 
it will be time to let go

one of us
going forth
towards the light of trust
one at a time our rite of passage

I just love the phrase, 'the light of trust.' Such an apt description of what awaits us, of what we await. :) gw

As my Mom always said: "Two things are certain in this life; death and taxes". Still, I intend to go towards the light someday; it beats the other. Great poem.

LOL, they wouldn't take you it the other place. Automatic rejection. You're going to the good place. Line xx

True, poetic, sound, and brave. One at a time, is the absolute truth, which makes the ending terrific.

Oh, Line - you touched my fear about being left alone, I'd rather be the one to go. This poem has universal impact because all who grow old, face this and there is no way to look at it that isn't sad, at least to me. Tender and sad and emotionally expressed with brevity is a challenging combination that you succeeded in writing. Be easy on yourself ... CayCay
