Reckoning

Submitted by Dennis Go on Wed, 2011-01-19 16:05

I lay my soul
To rest
After all of
The grief
And turmoil.

It is done.
The heart is tired
And the spirit
Is weak.

I shall stand aside
And let reckoning
Take its toll.

To you my dear,
The shadow
Of this clenched fist.

I reckon
we have nothing
to talk about...

Cool poem, the end clenches it!
