Naked pain – abandoned hope
Treasure chest of dreams 
Put to rest

Visions across the forest floor
With leaves in hues of amber
Scarlet and gold
Crunching against
Deep, black earth
Decomposing
Fading into
Death

Bare, aching sorrow
Breathing through my soul
In waves of agony
Piercing my heart
With grief
From the
Loss
Of 
Peace

Rich, brilliant promises
Of flowing lights
Beaming across
The darkness of night
In whispers of 
Intimacy
Encouraging
A victory
For hope
Faith

Limitless, lasting love
Dancing through the
Spirit of one who
Listens faithfully
To the sounds
That come from
A heart who hears
God’s breath
In each noun
Each verb
Every idea

The thought
That breaks through
Fear, doubt, angst
To sooth and sweeten
The music that plays
A melody of faith
Sighing gently
In soft rhythms
Of the heart beating
Sensing the longing
That caresses
With a flow
Of love

Some people, if not most, look at death as a form of release from burdens and obligations. You have written these imaginative verses quite well.

We, mortals, would be pleasantly surprised to find out that death is nothing so dreadful as we think it to be! Excellent work, dearest, Regina!

Death. I feel it so near. Now I have to take two vaccines and I dread them. I only Had one flu vaccine in my life and it made my life miserable. ~~
