Just Do It

Dreaming of an after life that is put on hold.

Image via Wikipedia

If all I had to do was die,

Then why, oh why,

Not give it a try?

Take some pills,

Forget the bills,

Soul soars over distant hills.

I’d be pain free,

Full of glee,

It’d be a trip just for me.

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates,

Ask if life I did hate.

For my arrival was not fate.

An adventure I choose,

Like hanging ten toes,

Nothing to lose, I had supposed.

Not hate, but pain,

Drove this train,

For death, no disdain.

Peter said to look back,

Something I forgot to pack?

Something that, perhaps, I lack?

Nothing from there did I need,

Life was full of want and greed.

From such existence I must be freed.

My loved one’s touch, I do miss.

That welcome hug and warm kiss.

Not something easy to dismiss.

Can’t return, a one-way trip.

Peter said to close my lips.

My wrongful way he would eclipse.

A one-time deal,

He’d permanently seal,

The snooze alarm made it real.

The writer of this poem has far to much talent to share here before even thinking about meeting St. Peter. I lovely deep and emotional poem.

I hate being woken from a cool dream. usually for me its a pet waiting to be fed, a donkey who calls from outside that she wants breakfast!

Thought provoking! Glad you’re back friend!

Very deep and meaningful. I especially love the ending. Nice piece, Clay!

I was wondering about, “Just Do It 1 and 2?” The style reminds me of something – it’s got the flow of free verse but seems more structured. I’ll think about that one.

Nice one . j

I\’m sure that everyone who has chronic pain has thought this thought at least once or twice (a day). But we know that suffering brings perseverance, perseverance strength, and strength builds character. All the same, though, I\’m looking forward to dancing on those golden streets.

Very effective with the point you were trying to make about how short this life is! Whimsically lovely!
