On The Brink Of Death: A Wake Up Call To Remind Ourselves That We Are Spiritual Beings In Physical Bodies

I do not normally write on morbid subjects such as death. After all my blog is supposed to be more about the positive aspects of life. However, we still deal to deal with the grim reality of life. This poem was triggered by admission of my 89 years old father-in law who was admitted to hospital yesterday night. He was brought to the emergency section of the hospital in an ambulance. 

This incident caused me to reflect on my on life, the anxieties that we have in facing death face to face, and the eternal question of what happen next. The poem is written as a wake up call to me and my readers not to be too caught up with the busyness of our daily routine and to remind ourselves what we treasure most and how we set our priorities right. It's also a  reminder to live our lives fully. 

# On The Brink Of Death


From dawn to dusk I have been busy
Engrossed with my daily chores and to do list
Not even time for me to compile my bucket list
But alas now I am on the brink of death

My pulse is getting slower
I am growing weaker
I am attached to an oxygen tank
I am on the brink of death

Lying on my deathbed
My family members have gathered
To say their final goodbyes
I am on the brink of death

These questions haunt me
Have I done my best
Did I pass my test
I am on the brink of death

Did I make the world a better place
Did I lend a helping hand
Did I fulfil my life purpose
I am on the brink of death


Now there is no time for regrets
No more tomorrows for the things I left undone
Leaving behind the broken promises
I am on the brink of death

Why did I realized too late
That I am a spiritual being in a physical body
That life on earth is only temporary
And that death is not the end but a new beginning

I hope all is moving in a forward direction with your father in law. You truly never know when things can happen, i can say. I lost over half my blood in an accident and flattened twice. Life is fragile, and i try and live everyday so when im at my end the only question I have is did i divvy my items correctly..
thanks for sharing . Im number 600 and it was my 600 post... Congrats

Beautiful!!!

Even though your poem is about death, I still find it very inspiring. It is truly a reminder of Life!!! Without death there would be no life, as we are born before we die, and die before we born again.

Whether one believes in life after death, we only need to look at the incessant movements of life and death, being renewed, flourishing, fading and hibernating for a season...

That said, in these sobering days for you and your family, my thoughts are with you, even as we have never met. For we truly are connected in Spirit....

A lot of us are going through the motions of life without realizing how temporary it is.

@xxsenpaixsamaxx · Jun 26 '17

It's pretty scary when you think of it, as a young child I used to be so scared of dying, it would keep me from sleep but now that I'm slightly older I see that everyone experiences it and that I need to do the best I can while I'm still here to make that change and leave my legacy :)
