" Purgatory " A Poem

“PURGATORY”

 

When death approached, I bowed my head

To Morpheus` crown,

not knowing that my soul would stay

in this body, tho` embalmed.

 

We see the soul as suffering

when purgatory bound,

that place unknown to mortals

is merely underground.

Hmm, sorta like a not so bad a death poem!  I think things are looking up... well down, whatever! Just in case we're going in that direction it's a doable conception!  Beats flames of fire hands down, I mean up?  Thanks V!

*Very* interesting.  It has a claustrophobic, anxious effect.  Or is that just me?  :)

i get this & i like this^ Death as only the
Extended sleep of Life...whethre one is carrying
Ashes to the Ocean, or a Coffin to repose on
a schnowy day. Mortality! It's only a prolonged
nap! {and such a century, 2 have so many ghosts
in it...} ~slac~
