Acceptance

Acceptance
Lay my head down -
this is the
Moment of my Death

i wait, serene and peaceful

Death creeps up on me
like evening fog
swirling ‘round my feet

Hope and Fear take wing
seeking a needier soul

Solace puts her arm around me
caresses my cheek;
Courage holds my hand

i stop stuggling against these bindings
it is the Moment of my Death -
this is Wonderful.

M. Compton 9/97
