~to the key of life~

i have seen the Mountains, i have swam the Sea with  

dolphins jumping free, Orcas and their roar, while the  

Osprey squeal, the Wolf howls, the Eagle soars, o’er 

songbirds waking me in a choir near my head, resting  

on a feather bed, opening my eyes from restless sleep 

to the memories of yesteryear  

 

i'm soothed by golden rays piercing through an ajar pane,  

thus, to the waft of lilac and verdant fields, a wonderous 

beginning of a welcomed gift to a new day 

 

my heart is in a flutter, asking my spirit to rise and dance,   

as the day arrives with a yellow-crimson Sun in the horizon, 

and the sounds in the key of life  

~love till the end~

with so many years, now, rested upon my body, 

wish to be able to see, hear, touch, taste and  

smell with the ends of the strands of the hair on  

my arms. 

when my eyesight has left me, i will be able to 

see by the sound in mine ears, and if my taste 

buds have left me, i wish to remember sweet and 

sour, hot and cold, spicy and bland just by smell. 

 

when the scent through my nasal membranes have 

dissipated, then i shall sit alone, still in silence, feel 

my heartbeat attending to all that no longer is with 

me, in sensorial memories, of all that i once had,  

especially, ~Love~
