About our last breath
We grasp for some type of certainty to hold
For what comes after death is seemingly untold
Gravity is the only thing keeping us here
It is the weightless that we fear
We are afraid of what is out of our reach
These constant worries suck us like a leech

Will it end painfully?
Will I meet death shamefully?
Will it be short or long?
Will it end in song?
Or will all be happy that I am done?
Will I be mourned by none?

Should these questions bring me alarm?
For they only seem to bring me harm
Maybe we should not fear what is to come
Because we can do little to affect its outcome
Why worry about what comes after?
For all we know it could be filled with laughter
It is best, then, to accept the inevitability of death
So that I can live a life full of meaningful breath

Breath and Death

Topic: spiritual

I think a lot about death
About our last breath
We grasp for some type of certainty to hold
For what comes after death is seemingly untold
Gravity is the only thing keeping us here
It is the weightless that we fear
We are afraid of what is out of our reach
These constant worries suck us like a leech

Will it end painfully?
Will I meet death shamefully?
Will it be short or long?
Will it end in song?
Or will all be happy that I am done?
Will I be mourned by none?

Should these questions bring me alarm?
For they only seem to bring me harm
Maybe we should not fear what is to come
Because we can do little to affect its outcome
Why worry about what comes after?
For all we know it could be filled with laughter
It is best, then, to accept the inevitability of death
So that I can live a life full of meaningful breath

A very, not provocative, but, for the reader enjoyable, flight of formation gathered by your questions to be answered with wonderful insights of conclusion. Very relative 'n' appreciated insights. Kudos

the ultimate question that bothers many put so lightly and closed with the gleeful thought of laughter. Thanks!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
