Waiting For the End

Grass grows beneath me, 
Sky broad before me. 
Your roots grow beside me. 
I wait here - waiting. 
Colors have seemed dull within my life, 
trees grow dead and I - I can not 
remember the colors of Autumn falling. 
I sit here waiting - for the universe to open before me. 
I feel its calling - I sit here waiting for the world to end. 
I welcome the sight of the milky way.

Wow, great piece, Jay. The anticipation of the world's end, is in many ways something we all think about. We hope the ending is not as violent as reality may be, and perhaps more positive. Great choice of imagery, Enjoyable overall. Check out some of my poems, might find some you like.Peace.

I'm a real " Sucker " when it comes to Death Art, it turns me on. Mortality is fascinating, and the possibilities it presents are staggering, challenging our hopes and fears, our confidence cowardice, testing our very meaning, and future. I respect your humble yet unintimidated invitation for the great exploration. Incidentally, I've been considering getting a birth month Constellation tattoo, colorful and totally galactic. Inspiring write. J.A.B.
