Is it my time

The window holds no joy anymore
There's no need for knocks on my door
My time, my hesitation subsides
Life's true mystery, no longer hides

My bed is my jail, my cage today
My reason to be, I miss lay

My thoughts dull, my memories fog
I reach for them, so tired of the slog
Each day, each hour one and the same 
I'm not bitter as I am glad I came

But my bed is my jail, my cage today
My reason to be, I mislay

So is it my time? My call to above
Will God send my key with a dove
Releasing my body from my soul
To begin my rise, my final stroll

I left my bed no jail, no cage today
For those left behind now, I love and pray.
