Contemplating Death

If you've ever contemplated death
you should have found
it's just one of those things
that happens when dust meets ground

settled, contented, rested
when the winds calm and the rains cease
just landing softly, waiting
to be absorbed into peace.

Yet tragic to some
afraid of it, they are
look at it as losing
but it's not a loss, by far

it's like a happy outing
where you go to play
done with the fighting
a quiet place to stay.

Contemplating death is easy for the hour
on such a glorious sunlit morn
I've aluminum foil over my windows
so sun cannot enter and scorn

me for having these thoughts
thinking them to be unbalanced
but it's not like that at all
contemplation has beautifully valanced

the window of my soul
decorated with the final touch
it's only complete like this
didn't take as much
work as I thought it would.
