It is a strange quiet that has come over me.
No…. it is not a desire to do away with one’s self.
My instinct to live
is too strong for that.
It is a feeling in my heart.
A feeling that I have reached the end of my road.
Kinda of like talking to your significant other
and it is like that
you are not even in the room.
You say something of significance
then they turn to you and say,
“Did you say something?”
I no longer feel passion.
none for life
none in my loins.
Maybe it was that last birthday.
The big 70′ one.
The birthday party without candles.
It seems
when I am driving
especially now
all I see
is detour and construction signs.
Perhaps now
it is really
the end of the road for me.
I am no longer afraid.
I have no fears.
I now have a feeling
heaven will be
a wonderful place.
