POETRY IN MOTION
Now What
NOW WHAT?
It's a shame
You never spoke my name
Before time came
To take it away
And hey!
I never heard
The word
And never knew.
Time flew.
Death's dawning
Has no warning.
No time to prepare.
One minute here, next minute where?
Somewhere
In between?
I haven't seen
A signpost or a name,
Or a flame
Or a haloed head
And I don't feel dead.
I wont until I know
You let me go
And when I passed
You did at
Last proclaim
My name.
