love's last dance

 i fear not death, but that the words i have spoken,

the songs i have sung, the poetry and prose i have

written will be no longer heard or be read, that my

smile will no longer be shared, mine eyes will no longer

witness the aesthetic of Nature’s canvas, my hands

and fingertips will no longer touch or feel

 

i fear not, that my body will no longer live life in

this mundane realm but i will regret that i will no

longer walk on riverbanks or through forests or at the 

base of a mountain’s scape, listen to the aviary songs,

smell the waft of daffodils, roses, daisies and sassafras,

juniper or lavender

 

i do fear, though, of when my heart will no longer

experience love and my spirit may no longer dance
