Day 22: Free After

this is an old poem (2003), don't really know why i am posting it.

"free after"

he closes his eyes
surrounded by those he loves
with tears of fear
of joy
of what is unknown

he closes his eyes
escaping the pain
easing his mind
of loss
of what he is leaving behind

he closes his eyes
in hopes of something pure
of an afterlife
peace or love
if what is forgotten here

he closes his eyes
surrounded by those he loves
he smiles
others weep
not understanding
that he is a man now free
