~ Final Breath ~

Body resting
heart tired of beating
breaths gasping shallow fleeting

burdens lifted
mind slowly drifting
into moments of past living

joyous times
true love caring
treasured memories giving sharing

family friends
my soul mate
a love not even death can break

slipping deeper
darkness calms
ascending as my saviour calls

    Beautifully penned Sugar, and your point is well taken. Death cannot stop love, in fact, nothing can, for it lives on after.

    In thoughts and gentle nudges from the past, we can still feel our loved ones around us.

    Good luck in the contest, hon.

    I love you,
    Brazos

    A VERY BEAUTIFUL PIECE, INDEED - FROM A VERY BEAUTIFUL LADY!

    That FINAL BREATH can be very beautiful and filled with the promise of going to a better when a soul is truly at peace with itself as you have so eloquently penned here, my friend! IF this one doesn't take the gold - I'll never know why as you answered this challenge perfectly, in no more than 50 words that spoke volumes.
    Peace & Love!
    Earl.
