The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances, it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
Bees around the flowers buzzing gently, no thought of stinging.
Children are playing along the road, they must be home from school.
Time , time my enemy always too fast, too slow never anybody’s fool.
I feel rested in the sun , relaxed maybe this is a new journey I have begun
Nothing to worry about anymore, nothing to rush for, nothing to come.
Gently things begin to fade, is this it or is just that I am lying in the shade
No I can no longer move , here comes the silent peace I crave.
I am happy that there will be no more treatment or pain
I am sorry for those who I love that will have to remain.
The sun shines warm and strong
The washing on the line dances it will be dry before long!
The birds are twittering and singing
Bees around the flowers buzzing gently no thought of stinging.
I hope they will not think me selfish, I could really fight no more
Here comes death to claim me and I feel safe as he leads me to his door.
Peace, peace no pain, no needles no scans no sad sad smiles
I am going now, I love you all and I shall be here but not seen, loving you all the while……………….
Just a little explanatory word. I wrote this poem this afternoon, I do not know where it came from I just wrote it. It is about a person dying peacefully of some disease say Cancer. I have not known any of my lost friends who have passed this way but I wish it could be like this . I wish death could of been gentle for them and for all of us ……….. please.

Very nicely expressed. You have the gift of expressing those feelings and emotions which most of us are reluctant to try since we are not sure whether we will do justice to them or not. It is a unique gift my friend to so deeply put yourself in a situation and to be able to express the inner most feelings of that person. Keep inspiring us. Take care.

Thank you Saminia but as I say the words just came to me ! I do wish there could be less suffering, I really do.
Jul 08, 2013 @ 22:07:03
Never ever give up on the spontaneous creativity, and I can see this great gift which you have. Keep writing and your form of writing is a unique form of art, very few people have this gift. Take care.
Jul 08, 2013 @ 22:09:23
I shall always do my best to write though , it can get me in to trouble at times!!
Jul 08, 2013 @ 22:17:48
Don’t worry about getting into trouble. If you have read the history of literature writers who had a unique style and wrote passionately about things they felt appealed to them, first they were were criticized but eventually they were worshiped and admired. Nervier be part of a crowd, always try to stand out, was the lesson my literature teachers taught me
Jul 08, 2013 @ 22:43:37
Your teacher was very wise. I have to write it is a an urge I cannot deny! Thank you so much for your support! xxx
Jul 08, 2013 @ 20:00:51
I understand your desire and if there’s any consolation to offer… my sister had great amounts of pain but, it had the sweetest effects on her and, taught me true heroism ~there truly are purposes we can’t understand yet. You’re a beautiful soul.
Jul 08, 2013 @ 21:15:06
Thank you for sharing , I am sorry for your sisters pain , but as you say there was a purpose . I would be happier if no one had to suffer! Thank you for your kind words. xxxx
Jul 08, 2013 @ 21:35:04
your words are painful, but beautiful.. If only it was like this for those who suffer..
Jul 08, 2013 @ 21:36:42
Yes I agree with you , if only.
Jul 09, 2013 @ 03:10:04
soft…the feeling is so soft as the words you gave voice too…
Beautiful Willow….as I wish too for such gentle passings….
Take Care…You Matter…

If only death could be so kind and gentle always. xxxx
Jul 09, 2013 @ 03:54:25
Death could be the door to freedom from so many things — yet most fear it and cling to —- life!
Jul 09, 2013 @ 07:29:19
Yes how strange that only the lucky few embrace the knowledge of escape and peace. Luckily though as well otherwise we would be extinct. 🙂 xx

This kind of reminds me of Emily Dickenson’s Because I Could Not Stop for Death.

I think if you reduce the amount of words in it, you can make it a stronger poem. Though, I like it just the same.
Jul 12, 2013 @ 20:57:48
Yes I know but it may not be my style! But I am listening to what you say because I know less is more! BTW I love Emily Dickinson.

Willow…this is exactly what “Inviolate” is about. She was like a sister to me.
Aug 05, 2013 @ 19:18:14
Ah! I see, I lost a very close friend though it was not beautiful it was like this https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/like-a-rockship-on-its-way-to-mars/ if only death could be gentle to all. XX
