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

Premium Member 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....

Premium Member 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.

Premium Member 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...

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...

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...

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....

Premium Member 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....
