No! Not yet!
Not the way! Not today!
You don’t end the pain
You merely pass it on
The fallen rose
The extinguished beauty
You shouldn’t have ended it
The universe wasn’t done
It had plans of greatness
Disrupted by a moment’s choice
No! Not yet!
Not the way! Not today!
Surrounded,
Yet alone
Joy seems far
End seems near
Ignore the knocks of misery
Turn to the glory of hope
A reason not in sight?
Look around, look deeper
It’s right around the corner
No! Not yet!
Not the way! Not today!
Laid the roses
They didn’t make amends
The lost vision of euphoria
The gained hope of spurious peace
You’re far more precious
To end it abruptly
Now that it’s over
Just want to hold on
Wishing the sands of time
No! Not yet!
Not the way! Not today!
Hush!
It’s the knock of death
Unexpectedly
Qualm arrives
Despair introduces itself
Threatening permanence
Life becomes a blur
Death, the only vision
No! Not yet!
Not the way! Not today!
Felt all that was within
The dread and the pain
Liberate me from the agony
Drown me in joy
Peace flew past the windows
What could have been grandeur
Becomes dust from feather
From glory to ashes
No! Not yet!
Not the way! Not today!
Feel the heart beating?
It’s the melody of purpose
The orchestration of life
Shut the noises around
Heed to hope’s chimes
Life ahead is marvellous
It is in darkness
You see the stars
You don’t end the pain
You merely pass it on
