The Closeness of Death - (Poetry Post)

The closeness of death
is but a breath
a second in time
I am next in line
For the greatest journey to come

A brief mist
but a vapor
an eternal longing
of that which is to come
Moments unwind memories left undone

All my thoughts of urgency
Those temporary things I couldn't put away

castles in the sand
waves now crashing
taking away

all that's left
that which was not built
upon the solid rock
by which I stand

dust to dust
ash to ash

We all fall down
