Death: A poem 

Throw the wish in the well 

The thought that it can tell 

Magic is only a moment’s breath 

And the bell that tolls is death 

Mother was taken like a stolen pet 

God was the thief and the vet 

There was dad, brother and grandma 

They slipped through the door ajar 

Words and wishes are just a plaque 

Ornamental and decorative, but namesake 

Every day when we just awake 

a step closer that we take 

Only memories, by us, are jewels adorned 

through the dying seasons in us grown 

Can it be said that spirit beholds 

in another body where life unfolds?

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
