Pervasive Diminution
September 11, 2010
Narrow and cold
withered and old
"The sickness will take you in days," I was told.
Body goes numb
I go blind, I grow dumb.
A shadow of shadows -
to the End I've succumbed!
And yet it's not the end,
my misconceptions I amend
'tis a new beginning,
and I yearn to condescend!
Narrow and cold
was weakened, grew old
I had wished It to wait, but It was not under my control.

This piece was inspired by my grandmother. We always had long talks about mortality and death... and the like. I wrote this in memory of her.
