SHE SWAM IN A LUMINOUS SKY
At the magical day-end hour
she ascended earthly strife
no more did she live in seclusion
as she ceded the rivers of life.
With thoughts of a comfortable nature
assumed with a welcoming sigh
she drank in the streams of heaven
as she swam in a luminous sky.

So beautifully written.
You always capture such a peaceful feeling when you write.
I’m pretty much the opposite.
Guess we balance things out 🙂
Resa
Thanks Resa - I guess we do complement each other - perhaps a Collaboration?
That would be interesting 😉
Another beautiful write Michael.
Thanks Andy
A fine write and pic Michael. She on Cloud Nine now?!
Yes cloud 9 - it runs from Stoke Newington.
Ahh - not from Clacton?
Transitional beauty here. I'm interpreting this as the passing at the end of life. I hope i have this right because anyone reading this piece with thoughts of the end of their days will surely see the passing over as a time of.magical transition.
Lovely words.
You've read it as intended - thank you so much for your kind comments.
Thanks MIKE for a beautiful REQUIEM IN PACE poem ~ My Grandma passed away just like that ~ peacefully ! Love the AQUILEGIA ~ like dancing fairies so delicate ~ thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN. Please check my HAIKU and add an Artist (I will add the picture) to my NEW FUSION ~ thanks BRIAN
Thanks Brian - I will add to your Fusion but won't have time until tomorrow.
Beautiful death!
Thank you Lorna.
And thanks for the save,
Just loved this poem for today! Loved the last two lines, they were my favorite. Great flower pic!
Thanks Christina - I too like the last two lines - don't know where they came from but wish I could find more like them.
Michael,
Today must be one of those days! Yours is the second write that I’ve read about a peaceful death!
My dad’s was a peaceful death...3:00a.m. ...8 1/2 years ago!
Your exquisite verse beautifully expresses how I felt about my dad’s passing! Well done my friend!
Love the pic of the aquilegia! Too bad I’m not allowed to plant flowers at his gravesite! Like you, he loved his garden!
~Laura~
And my Dad too about 10 years ago - how I miss my parents. Thanks for your kind comments.
You’re very welcome, Michael!
My wish is the same for my mom...when her time comes!
She swimming still?!
No she drank too much and sunk.
This is beautiful. I have different beliefs about the end of someone life but I can still appreciate the beauty, peace and serenity expressed. Beautiful piece.
Not sure where this came from as I'm an atheist and have no belief in the thereafter but the words seemed to flow when I started writing. Thanks for your comment SLR
