As Thou Approacheth Death

November 28, 2022

Fought, hast thou

During thy life

But here we are now

After a long exhausting strife

 

Thine candle of life blowing out

Leaving more darkness than light

Which is inevitably without a doubt

Chasing out delight

 

Art thou ready for the life after death?

To meet Him at His kingdom

After thy last breath

Which will lead thee to thine bondage or freedom?

 

Wilt thy last words be of meaning to many?

And thy life be an example of good?

Rather than someone who pinched tightly on every penny?

So that your remembrance will stay stood?

This is a poem that I wrote while imagining what death might be like. It's not much, but I tried my best to insert depth and inner thoughts throughout this short poem.
