Moments Before the Fall

A lonely church on a hill From afar a whip-poor-will Moments in a ticking clock As I take my final walk Mighty oaks are standing tall Vivid colors of the Fall Rustling leaves the only sound As we near my resting ground Where I'll wake they cannot know On this road they cannot go Solemn faces, mourners cry As I'm carried shoulder high

Thanks Karen, I've had a tendency lately to write more about death. I'm in my sixties now and that inevitable conclusion is inching closer every day. I think I'm just trying to prepare myself for it. Although, I prefer cremation over being buried in a box. Take care of yourself my friend.
