Remember Me

© 2010 (Jim Sularz)

What final verse, which season’s breeze,
will billow death and come for me?

Will I slip away cold ashen lips,
or slowly fade with each shallowed breath?

Will my faith endure when the clock is struck,
in the Book of Life is my soul in-trust?

Will I ever wake from night’s burrowed sleep,
and soar with angels through Heaven’s gate?

Born of love – die in pain,
what mournful words will attempt to say?

When granite’s cut-in stony deep,
who’ll stand and wait, to remember me?

This is a very somber, and introspective write. I like the mood you've created here. Nicely done, sir. -G
