All the Days

Another biting winter morn chilled the bones already crippled by disease
Deep set eyes on a pallid face, body held upon two sticks
Faced the battle of the day, poor soldier of misfortune
Brave, not complaining, for parents sake
On the riverbank path he stared at the water
Watched its meandering to the hazy distant dot
Wishing he had wings to fly into the ether
To plummet cross the valley floor and rise o'er jagged peaks
This morn the bench on which he sat was anothers resting place
With ashen face the old man watched, hands clasped tight as though in prayer
Nervously the young boy stood, till drawn by beckoned hand
The stranger smiled and closed his eyes, then drew long breath to speak
Fear not said he, in tones of old
Within those eyes I see your pain
The sting of youth so heavy weighed
Upon a fame so frail and light
Come higher boy, pray take my hand
We have a journey far to take
Thou shalt not stumble, nor need for rest
Till the day is dark and the moon is light
The young boy smiled, released the shackles as the sticks fell to the ground
Clasped the hand of the bearded messenger, shrouded in mystic white
And in the book the old man held, his name so freshly scribed
As they walked into the radiant light the ink began to dry
Still on the ground lay no more than a shell, discarded husk of passing
Peaceful smile though eyes were cold, torment driven out
As the sun set quickly in the grip of winter sky
One short day ended all the days

Lovely way to write about the passing over to Heaven. When people have endured such burdens that life is beginning to be too much to handle then I can believe death do comes as a relief. In Many religions, if not all, death doesnt mean the end, but its the beginning of a new life in another dimension. It just a matter of how ya look at it.
Lovely write.
Huggsss,
Nats |
