Poetry: Last breath

by Peter Baskerville

Created on: January 11, 2009

Simplicity of life




There comes a time

in every life,

when fear will cease,

despite how rife.




No money needs,

no future fears,

no lost esteem,

this moment hears.




Life's purpose clear,

this single goal,

the body's focused,

so too the soul.




Both king and serf

together exist,

their journey of life

brought down to but this.




A few extra beats,

a tortured breath,

the simplicity of life,

in our last bout with death.
