What If: A Poem
What If: A Poem
What if
In an instance
You felt
Your life
Near the end, it is
Heart pumping
Adrenaline surging
Without you knowing?
What if
Of the sudden
You felt
Inevitable, the death
Is waving amiably
Like an old friend
You’ve always known
But have never met?
What if
Unexpectedly
You felt
The world around you
Will be but a distant memory
Of a short journey
On an infinite voyage
Beyond our knowledge
Do we know what the future holds?
What if
It just occurred to you
You felt
Friends, family,
People all around you
Will be sorely missed
When you know
Always, they’ll be there for you
Day or night
But it might
be the last time
today, tomorrow,
or the day after
of you knowing them?
