Short Deathday Poems

Funeral
A gray day, long and windy
A long line, sad and weary
A loved one lies still
Never to celebrate again
All there wear black
All there morose and mourning
A day of silence
A day to say goodbye...

Every morning as I awake and greet the sunrise
I think to myself that today could be the day when I say good bye.
Today could very well be
the last day any see of me
because today could unexpectedly be the day that I die....

the clouds above nova scotia
will one day become rain in the english streets i roam

the bombs dropped in foreign lands
will one day fall on all our hopes and homes

the bullets that end lives so abruptly
will one day silence us all...

The soldiers sleep beneath my feet 

What they fought for , it is over 

Their lives , loves , hopes and ambitions
 
Lost by a few, human, omissions 

Someone forgot to mention love 

The day we went to war 

The day that shook God to the core...

After a day of distress
many lives lost
many tears shed
A blanket of snow comes
to cover it all
Trying to send a day of peace
and a little more quiet
The air becomes calm 
listening to the wind
No one saying a word 
Trying to forget the death that came...

Hearts racing.
Soul is shacking
Afraid of what lies beyond
Each day pasting
Drawing me closer to that day 
Slowly or even fast
Who knows how long this life will last.
The cold touch of death begins to approach 
Not knowing what to expect.
Is there a life after death?
Or is it just the end of my world
Do I sleep for eternity?
Do I wake from this deep sleep?
No body truly knows....

The wind whispers secrets of time.
   Time that passes as swiftly as the whispering wind.

 Who gazes at the desert rose?
  ..with its fleeting beauty and it's unique pose
 ...the day it was born, the day it goes?

 He who lines the stars in place,
  He knows each name, He knows each face.
And the wind whispers once and its gone forever.
 Forever, the desert rose sleeps.
  Alas, as it's starry audience weeps....

Jesus help my family when I'm gone
O God, be merciful to my family

Bless the good I've sown
O God, be merciful to me

Spare me from the evil I've shown
O God, be merciful to me

My loves are close to my heart; my loves are close at home
O God, be merciful to my family

One more second, one more day to be known
God has been merciful to me!

For Audrey's contest themed one day left to live in the kyrielle form....

Leaving this place where my life has been,
        Frighten to close my eyes for it might be the end,
  My faith has seldom been tested,
               Though my years are still young,
My heart senses the certain death that is to come,
             And day by day I come close to this end,
and powerless to rewind the time,
                  So I am hunted by the black angel,
who awaits my company to join the others,
           who left this earth without a choice...

A single tear ran down the face
of a girl with no elegance or grace

Today is the day of death
the day he took his last breath

This is a time to mourn and be sad
but for them it is only a fad

Two roses are laid on a grave by the beast
but at least she is the one who treats

A remembrance of him will always be kept
even though he sleeps where the angles are kept

My dedication to this great man
and ill keep moving forward; at least that's the plan
