My Only Request to Myself

My Only Request to Myself
An active mind
can never rest
@82 nearing I must confess

staying idle is what I can't tolerate
though all say I am a true poet
merit to be given is by educated folks
great poets more o doc like you

I am always in blue
since I was just two
never rested a day
wish to go for my cremation
walking and say

hello friends now I go away
having come so far you all make my day

OK good bye I can't say
have a happy day
now I pass away
in he arms of Time
I shall sway.

to my cremation, I'd be walking in the other direction! I get what you mean, I'd like to have a few last words with the people that I love and love me. But I think that if I have time before my death, that I will just leave them a note! ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

For your wonderful interpretation great 'tis

Hi lovedly, what a surprising poem. Very good and it intrigues me. I don't think I'll be able to say anything as I go to my cremation...but this is poetry, so why not?
Good idea to say goodbye right away, I'm sorry I didn't do so before loved ones died.
Enjoyed.

I perhaps have been just waiting
the end is as far as the horizon
tomorrow will come
but for one none knows
that's the whole beauty of living '
till then say no amen
maybe more years yet
than ten
perhaps till then thanks
