These Dying Eyes

Over tepid seas of tranquility

My mind is awash with the ability

To sail to the edge of oblivion's breadth

For this is the day and the hour of my death

I fear not the impending darkness to come

But take solace in life's fruition and sum

Each step taken was a revelation sown

Down the path of hope and the roads unknown

The bonds that were laid and solidified

The dreams that were made, the ones cast aside

The women I held under a starlit sky

And those that I glimpsed as they passed me by

The friends and family that I'll now soon part

The love taken with me in this mortal heart

No poet or scholar could ever surmise

The grandeur witnessed by these dying eyes
