On Leaving

The time for leaving
is coming up soon
Our great sorrows will
soon be a thing of the past
Realizing the path ends
is essential
Soon - Darkness
and a heavy sense of peace
The cycle of days and nights
will be interrupted
by a small demon
Who is now within sight!

LIke Carolyn, I'm not sure if this is about world's end, but that is how I am taking it, and I like this. I feel it coming to an end. It's sad but it is really falling apart rapidly now. good little poem (you repeated "the" in line 5) LUv, Andrea

The sense of peace you describe is what I'm feeling now, Matthew. I'm not sure if you are talking about deathor Judgment day, but we do have to admit that the path eventually comes to an end. Thanks for your kind thoughts. I'm keeping the demons at bay. Love, Carolyn
