i am not dead

i
am not dead
………………. yet
my bones ache
my breath is slight
but
fight is still with in me

 

i
am not dead

………………….yet
i focus on the future
…………………….. not years
merely moments
that may grow into minutes
hours and days

 

that i may spend
making new memories
for you to hold on too

 

my recollections are clear
they are what keeps
fears on the other side
of the closed door

 

i
am not dead

………………….yet
so there shall be no tears
no sympathy
only laughter
and gaiety
should grace my space

 

i still wake
to the morning crisp air
i still sit
by an afternoon calm sea
i still dream
in the evening moon light

 

and
i still relish
hugs from
those beloved

 

i
am not dead

…………………..yet
and
i don’t plan on parting

 

………………………….yet
if that day arrives
hold me in your thoughts
as i hold you in mine
for our souls
shall live in the stars
beyond counted time
