She is leaving this world,
She knows that death is calling her.
She has had a good life,
She has a loving husband,
She has a loving family,
She knows they will miss her.
She wants to come to peace
In the place that she loves,
That cottage on the beach
Where the sun always shines,
That place far away,
With her husband at her side.
They arrive at her heaven on earth,
Their last days together full of joy,
Full of love, and full of laughter,
Until that day when she knew,
She knew her end was near,
And her life on this world was ended.
She lay on the beach with her lover,
His arms around her,
Looking out to the setting sun.
She slowly rose and walked to the sea.
As she walked into the sunset
She looked back and saw herself
Laying there, as if asleep,
In her loving husband’s arms.

Thank you Brian, I enjoyed writing this and I too seemed to be there.
I dunno about this Karma chappie - or chap-ess. Is ignorance bliss in this case? I only know about porkies and sherries - oh and 1066! heehee.
Absolutely beautiful. I wish all end of life stories ended like this, not in hospitals and such. Wonderful read.
Thank you for your comments Christina.
Evocative of so many things. Full of life. Loved the last verse especially.
