Last Breath

by Jose Feliciano

I wander in white forests,
Seeking what I cannot find.
Meaningless souls all about,
In what I can't define.

I hunger for answers,
I seek the unknown.
what purpose shall I meet?
When death is all I know.

They say I am weak,
The shadows say I am wrong.
I know You hear me now,
Can You feel this dark song?

Bring me to the evergreen meadows,
Where light and darkness meet.
Tell me it's not all for nothing,
Where the frozen is turned to heat.

Forsaken is my destiny,
In the cosmos lies my truths.
Will I lose all consciousness?
Will I forever lose my youth?


I pray my dreams will leave me here,
In this cold winter haven.
I open my eyes to fading black,
And see the ever-staring raven.

In this great mysterious world,
I am dancing with stars of death.
Driving myself into madness,
And holding my Last Breath.

Author's Note: As of late, I find myself wondering about the mystery of life, the cosmos, the universe, planets, voids and galaxies. I wonder why? Why are we here? Religions all over the world offer answers that cannot fully be explained or proven. What is the reality of death? The meaning of life? Will I be lost completely when I die? Will I as I know myself now be destroyed? What is the point of living if this is true? I'm not being emo, or being suicidal. I'm just struggling with the realities of questions about our existence which I'm sure many of you have as well. I hope you enjoy this poem, and feed back would be great. :)

I often struggle with the same question. I have come to the conclusion that there can be peace in the mystery. I enjoyed this poem!
