Memoir of a dying man

by ADyingProphet   May 18, 2010


Evulsions of illusions show through,
The cracked face of the mirror.
My beauty has escaped through,
The callous fingers of tedious time.
Heartbeats withered away,
Like a catatonic zombie.
Spending gaudy days pondering,
Unraveling cryptic crossword puzzles.
Feeling as if my latency no longer ontic,
In this jocund pace of societys chasm.
I live through the breaths of my
Four rambunctious grandchildren,
Teaching them old virtues and wisdom.
Hitherto, I am not alone but
I belong with the marrow of heaven.
Do not cry when I succumb to
Rapier of deaths banshee for
For I am inside the bosom of God.
