Glory-us...

Another thought of late night reasoning =p

I wrote down most of what I remembered before I slept


Glory-us...

Legs unwilling to walk

Voice gone, no longer able to talk

Eyes closing among the sunny day

Soon, if I'm lucky, friends & family will carry me away...

Before then, I have a job to complete

Body broken, my resolve remains concrete

Not willing to stop, I stumble about toward the beasts that bare no humanity

With eyes filled with surprise, they look at me with questionable sanity

A moment more of them stopped in place

Gives hope to those I cherish with a smiling face

Still standing, moving toward them with an ember still lit in my soul

I'll fight till the last light flickers among the coldest coal

Sight blurred, I ask the, to make the first move, mine may be my last

With greed they proceed, I'll be certain to leave all I can, all the frustrations, my anger, my strength in today's tomorrow, my past...

Fearfully fast they surround me, eyes closed, in this moment, there's nothing I can't see...

Quick to swing, I feel each sting

Heavy hits throw me to & fro

As they stop, I get back up, I can't yet go

With all that I am, I come back in force I never knew

Showing in pain-filled hits how much I grew

Fighting for lighting, my eyes red, one arm no longer moving as I choose

My legs are cemented in one place, my body completely loose

I can't feel anymore

The only thing holding me here now are my memories, the ones I adore...

One falls, heavily breathing it's last breath

Soon enough, I, as it has, will certainly meet death...

Too strong the urge to sleep, I swing too hard, digging into myself, time too deep

One good hit from another, & I'm on the ground

Mindfully trying to breathe, I don't hear a sound...

Blind to who or what stands before me

Painful movements are all I can't see

In this, I hope I did enough, I hope they no longer hurt those I'd give anything for

Hear I must stay, till I'm found one day, I can do no more...

Echoes in my mind, I hear them....calling my name

To not see them again, will have to be my dying shame...

...I hear them again, calling louder, they seem so near now

I could swear I feel them, somehow...

Suddenly I feel tears above me....

Oh how I wish I could see...

How, there here now, I wish I could let them know...

I have so very much I'd like to explain, to show

There holding so carefully what's left of me, I can hear them talking, wondering why

They're enough, this I made sure no one would deny...

As they carry me back to town

Struggling, not one gives in to let me down...

Sun light warming to the touch

I whisper once more, "Thank you so much"

Soft hands close my eyes, & kiss my head

I'm fine, it's okay, for now I'm resting, I know I'll soon be dead

A hero in thought, a good friend in life at its best

To carry on will be they're shared final test

One none has to take

Not for my sake

Under a tree shaded so perfectly

My memories remind friends & family of what I once was, all thoughts shared so happily...

What a life, so wonderful to have lived, to love

Each day is forevereasy now under my world of wonder above
