White box

[Sandi]

The white box is getting closer.
A black marble stone with a white rose.
The call of silence whispers in my ear.
To lay in a coffin in a quiet pose.

I don't want anyone around,
Because they were not there when I was alive.
So continue to do what you do,
Go ahead and use people to strive.

The ones I dearly love will survive,
I'm sure not many will cry.
I don't want the tears, I've cried enough,
Just walk past and say good bye.

this poem is beautifully heartbreaking in its sad truthfulness.

[hillwalker]

A beautifully simple, honest poem.

Beautiful and sad and I'm sure with a sad tale to tell.

Thank You. It is one of my older poems. I am still keying in all the other ones on my computer and will post some more soon. Also my short stories.
