I was about to sleep
after hours spent building my dreams.
my bones were tired.
just as about the time my bed wanted to embrace me, he death whispered.
so I said not here, not now.

I know you are powerful,
as your walk along this pathway of life
you harvest as you wish,
who dare questions you.

you feed without planting
you drink without wells
you take when and how you desire
but wait awhile.

I don't want the last page
of my last chapter to be of here, a field of broken promises and failed dreams
nor my epilogue of there; a place I desired to be, of hope detered and faith defeated.

I don't want the last words from my mouth to be said in my head or stuck to the roof of my mouth. I don't want to go with burdens and gifts. I don't want to roughen my sheet and drown my pillows they deserve better.

Not here Not Now.

I will be back soon,
but till then
live.

He said these words grudgely
as he continued his walk of shame. 😇
