My heart was still
As was the night
As angels flew in catastrophic flight,
And the song of ages
Played distantly
As the mesmerizing filigree,
Cast down by angelic light
Lifted the shadows of my plight,
Revealed from out of the darkening
Sad memories of way back when.
Of how life had passed by my way
And I had let if drift away
And now with moments of final breathe
I consider now all my regrets,
Opportunities missed
That went unseen
I think of the folly of focusing,
On other matters, which did distract
And left my life so abstract
No focused channel on which to view
To many choices had accrued,
That did not help my spiritual growth
But at least I abided by my oath
To live a good life of compassion and peace
A being of love and living life kindly.
It was then I took my final breathe
And with it went my last regret.
