FEAR
Death is inevitable, that I'm very much aware
I certainly know I'd go one day that my mind bears
My fear of all time is how I'd go
That remains a mystery yet untold
We all don't know how we would go..that is destined
But we have to one way or the other...that is predestined
Some go through excruciating pains
Others go without even an ounce of pain
Some through accidents and instantly
Others deal with protracted ailments, strangely
Some are murdered, not their own doing
Others take their lives, their undoing
Some are opportuned to bid farewells
Others inadvertendly caught unawares
If I have my way
If I'd be given a say
Let me go peacefully
And never accidentally
Let me be given a chance
and plan in advance
Let me say farewell
So my absence won't be felt
Although it won't be easy on my loved ones
After being together at all times
My greatest fear of all is how I'd die

Hello Sweet Rose...
Awesome write my friend...
We will get an answer at the end...
I am not a person that can take pain medicine...
If I am one that has to suffer...
I won't get more than I can handle...
Great write my friend...

Hey Rose,
I guess the only thing that is guaranteed and definitely promised in life, is that one day we all will die, so why can't we have our say on how we depart? Food for thought for sure Rose....Appreciate the read.....Jim
We aren't given the privilege of having our say...we just accept what ever comes....Thanks for stopping by....I appreciate
Lots of love...Rose
great topic and presentation, Rose, love your crisp articulation and patience in construction, you are obviously extremely talented....the subject of death in poetry is prevalent, a favorite of many great poets; Poe, Sexton, Plath...but I like how you focus on the how
My fear of all time is how I'd go
reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode, a famous actress dies in a plane crash, but is mysteriously allowed a visit to her family and friends hours before, just to see them one more time and say goodbye, not sure why that came to mind, but I suppose it is a personal 'fear' not given the chance to say goodbye.... love your approach in this thought provoking art piece, cheers poet
Wow!....You made me blushed....I'd take that seriously coming from a gripping writer like yourself....I'm sure the story came to mind cos she was given a chance to say goodbye...Not everybody is that privileged...You honour me with such beautiful compliment....I appreciate
Lots of love...Rose
Hi Sweet Rose,
Death, a word that brings terror to most, yet, it is inevitable. They say the most painful thing one ever experiences is being born, yet, death seems so much more horrifying. But, I feel that death is merely a transition to the next phase of our soul. So the next time you have to pay your taxes, rejoice, for the other choice is far less desirable.
Peace, Hugs and Love,

Hey Sweet Larry....sure death is merely a transition to the next phase.....And I know it's inevitable...my fear is how that transition is going to happen....Yeah I'd keep that in mind...when it's time to pay my taxes......An insighful comment....Thanks so much for always being there....
Lots of love... Rose
Rose, your honesty is so revealing and sweet. This is a thought provoking poem for sure. Thank you for writing about not only death.....but, a part I believe we have all wrestled with at one point in our lives or another. We are human....given to thoughts of the mysteries surrounding ones last moments. Again this was well written Rose!........Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints.
Thanks so much Paula....for stopping by and for your wonderful and insightful words....I appreciate
