A Poet Pleads For Sanity

I will arise and go forth into a dream...
A vision of heaven...in the form of death..

A shadowed obituary....writes itself..
The heavens empty their sorrow..

Upon my saddening flesh...

Many of pearls....open to reflect my memory..
What use to be a silent room...

An echo of despair...I must be...
I walk the waters of the sfter-life...

Just to catch a glimpse...

As the waters calm the rivers of life...
I lay silent once more...

If you whisper to the night....
I wonder if I’ll answer...

I am waiting.....to glimpse again...
Gaze into the winter...just to remember...

My breath..speaking to you...
A cold and bitter breath...

Lay on the pillow of life...
Dream another dream...

    I like the way you wrote this, interesting style. And the imagery is, like Tina said, chilling... 'If you whisper to the night, I wonder if I'll answer'; great line. :)
