The end of the dream


Watching…waiting…
Anticipating.
Wishing…praying…
Saving?
­

Death hangs over;
Looking over the shoulder.
Body is getting colder;
No more getting older.


Still…unmoving…
Dead, not dying.
Lost…gone…no more losing;
Only crying.


Time stands still;
No more living this day.
Life is at an end; read the will…
The last words they will ever say.
