gold dust shimmers on calm sea
sweet birdsong ceases

Dust is blown by the wind
As the coffin where lies
The corpse that was dearly beloved
Is transported in the cart
To the final resting place

An Allegory
Why you need an eternal plan;
Approaching death, you can't conclude the shore
That will be your craft's final resting place,
If in life, drift, current, or prevailing wind,
Has determined your course....

Resting Place
I visit your final resting place
and my emotions come unbound.
I pause just for a moment
and make barely a sound.
Whisper a few words;
nothing profound.
Repose, peace,
newfound.
Sleep....

Discarded
In the dead of night she lays
Still , alone
Once so full of life
Now lifeless so far from home
No-one knows she lays there
Discarded like refuse
Is this to be her final resting place
Left naked and abused...

Closed Lines
Brightness fading
Time takes its toll
Green encroaches the outer shell
Putrid smells clouding heads
Weak and beaten
Lifeless and broken
Structure deteriorating
One last adventure
A final memory
Boxes waiting to be filled
A final resting place...

Here
You left me here,
in my world
all alone
my heart just went cold
when i saw You walk away
on that very final day
the day i knew
id never see You again.
in pieces on the ground
i knew that i had found
my final resting place...

Dietrich Hoeschen
Here lies the remains of Dietrich Hoeschen
Died in an unexpected coal mine explosion,
He never regretted going underground
So in this final resting place we found
He’s safe from any further earth erosion.

Epitaph
Checkmate
At last the game has ended
Checkmate, I fell for you
A pawn in your game of decit
Mercilessly sacraficed for your future queen
Falling back to reality I embrace the final blow
Loving is my sin
Heartbreak was my death sentence
Pain, my final resting place...

"epiphany"
Enigmatic is the soul
Preponderance found within great luminosity
Intrinsic of mind and body
Placated by the serenity of prayer
Harmony instilled through revere of faith
Affliction bound by His word
Nirvana the ultimate reward
Yearning for it's final resting place...

Forgotten Grave
Final resting place
Lichen clings to ancient stone
Weathered burial
Philosophical moment
Universe does not forget.
Lichen is a group of tiny plants that looks like moss and grows on the surface of things such as rocks, trees, and walls....

All
When a leaf breaks free of it's attachment.
And begins the journey -
Is it's destination already known.
Even when winds or breath persuade and push -
Is it's final resting place a decision, itself made at the birth of it's being -
Or that of the wind, breath and laden earth...ALL...

En Route
Somewhere in the distance, there's a light, a signpost to that universal shepard at the inn we humans long for,
awaiting all of us or so we think, or maybe hope but sometimes wonder if this place called earth we occupy is all we have.
The final resting place. A life time journey's end....

The Bible
He was born today
No place for him to lay
But within a stable small
Yet filled with warmth/love.
He died today
Hung from a cross
His final resting place
A tomb upon a slab.
The middle, the best
You will find
Within the pages
Of a book we call
The Bible!

Life Laughs, Death Waits
That which thought wrought yesterday
may befuddle us now
but with the coming of a good day
lives can survive the morrow
though the mind be confused
and heart sickened
the sun will rise still
and some beleaguered souls
in their final resting place will lie
and greet the dark with peace....

Gone
The urge to disappear.
Fall off into a volcano
Erupt and saturate the surrounding land.
Suffocate myself quickly in sand.
repossess my life and leave this empty, broken shell.
This is goodbye.
There is no hand left to wave -
in the background,
I hear the bells.
Ding, ding, welcome to our final resting place....

Home
They sold home away. The last thing I had of you is gone. Last piece is finally taken away. Wounds are going to take some time to heal. What it meant to me. What it was, was my safe place away from this wicked world. The osias in the woods. A souls final resting place. A legacy no longer exists. They sold my fathers home for pennies. It was priceless to me....

Putins Final Resting Place
Death be not proud, bare-chested, forever resting
in dross mixed with the amalgamation of your unrest.
— by poet
Putin’s Final Resting Place
Blow it all up!
Be done with you!
As the ash, like snow
earns you
your eternal urn.

Raison D'Etre
Why undertake to write another verse,
When Undertaker Time and his black hearse
Will bear your poems to their final resting place
Interred without a stone, in some small weed-thick space?
Because—regardless of the tolling knell,
As long as there are whispered tales to tell
Brave poetry can help deter brute Time
A moment more until he tolls his final chime....

Ophelia
O luckless maid! such beauteous
blush with modest blandishments
did'st flash to woo a Prince
o'erthrown, in madness' grasp!
Still-born, ne'er meant to flourish,
true love was the hapless prey,
Polonius lay cold, extinguish'd
in the Dane's misguided sway.
It drove thee mindless, to a frenzy,
death thy only destination,
borne by rippling river's eddy
to thy final resting place....
