All That's Left

All That's Left

I'm close to life's conclusion

The break in the illusion
The loss of something dear
With little hope of restitution

I feel me slipping fast
The shatter of the glass
Decay at merely fractions
But a fraction more to last

It tears me limb from limb
Misfortune at a whim
Seraphim translations of my sorrows
In a hymn

And aren't you entertained
Enraptured but what pained
Charmed by things that harmed
Delight in what can blight

I write this poem as proof that I existed
And drew breath
For buried under miles of it all
Is all that's left

Hi Curious onlooker.
โ€˜The last song has not been played as yet.
Each breath is a gift of life.. and an opportunity to do good.
Keep doing your best for your fellow man, and leave the rest in Godโ€™s hand.

Best of wishes.

Very well said my friend, sometimes life will see how much pain you can endure. The lord gives his strongest soldiers the toughest battles!
