My Final Poem

If I was to write my final poem,
its imagery and color would
never matter at all;
every letter and word would
be as plain as unlevened bread -
its message real and light.
I would write a poem
that any child would read
and understand;
I would write a poem
that would touch the soul
rather than the mind -
I would write a poem that
would carry the ashes of my
bones to the realms of immortality....
