some poets are sublime
but don't like my poetry
as much as
many still do
yet we can pray
for them
as our own eyes dim
we can no longer play in whim
stars forever stay bright
when we normal human
in this mundane world
stay left or right
only our memories
should for ever be bright
like the twilight
ere last night
remember all embedded
deep

You are right...
most of us don't know when it will come. A friend of mine who died just recently, was in the hospital for a minor thing and had a stroke, went into a coma, and died a few days later. He was 83, ten years and a month older than me. Some of us will last until a hundred, some of us will die tomorrow. ~ Geez.

IS THIS A HINT FOR ME Gee????
He was 83, ten years and a month older than me.
IS THIS A HINT FOR ME
ALL MY SIBLINGS DIED
when very young
last few refused to die till after 83
I want to cross the 100 metres line
before you all let me go
So go slow
let me touch 84 before u blow off my torch

death is a better gift than birth
both you don't experience
remain in
unknown
SILUNCE
at birth u CRY
at death
pals/gals/and pairunts
