karmic eventuality

05/30/2021

 

filament of time had but frayed ends left,

as I approached the shores’ end by dark, 

a silhouette, by the lantern’s dim light, 

placed there, only, for my benefit to see

 

on approaching, I placed the one coin,

in the outstretched skeletal fingers, and

waded into the boat, that neither swayed 

nor creaked, meant for but a lone passenger

 

with a gentle tug of his pole, sickle at top end,

the final journey across the realm had begun.

the stillness of the air, with not a whiff of wind 

sensed in any direction, yet movement was there

 

now to reflect on times past, of spent years

length of journey, depended solely upon me

astrologically, scales have been my birth mark

balance, I shall, my actions, my deeds, indeed

 

by the time I dock, leave no doubts to ponder

there is no sense of dread, nor fear of forthcoming 

Libran birth, a sort of calmness has enveloped

the scales of justice, the karmic eventuality

        no, not the end, reflection is the thesis for the next chapter.
        till then.....

      • L. B. Mek

        of that finale, ride
        on the river Styx, you ink
        yet in your version
        consoling Karma, exists
        to offer
        that evergreen hope, of redemption...
        a wonderful poem,
        well thought-out and executed
        thanks for sharing
