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.

"Good to the last breath," I pray,
that when beyond I'll be,
As Good to live, and laugh, and play,
throughout Eternity.
