Dying
I think I spend a majority of my time waiting
Waiting for the page to load
the tide to turn
the weekend to come
the clock to cheat
a heart to beat
I'm tired of waiting
I don't want to spend my hours remembering a few moments
because I am dying
who knows how fast?
It might be a few seconds it might be a few billion
but nothing is more certain
Yet of this certainty nothing is known
So how should I proceed?
meandering down the lonely aisle of my deathbed
towards the dust of my origin
time's unhalting pace drags me
sometimes a prisoner
sometimes a victor
but let it be said
that I embraced the mystery
that I questioned the certain
that I strolled with purpose
without looking back
until I climbed a ladder into the depths
remembering every breath.
