Pathway
Down
Kenneth
Vincent Walker
But has anyone
truly slept in
Sleeping death
and returned
To profess their
gruesome tale
Walking among the
unwitting
Living knowing
of a pathway
Down a dimly dampened
trail?
When defibrillators
shock the
Heart before the
brainwaves
Are set in slow-motion
to derail,
And the light funneled
back
To darkness into
a black hole
In a hidden mysterious
veil.
Intensely permanent
are its
Effects as life
beckons us in,
Then subsequently
exhales.
Life is well worth
each second
We're in it. So
let us spend it
Splendidly, enthusiastically
with
An immense attention to detail.
