For Tomorrow, I Die

Perchance, have you seen where I left myself

Entrapped in amber somewhere along my life's road?

Never moving, never striving, just waiting for the

Ultimate judgement.   Now comes the final eve of my

Life, and I find myself looking backwards,

To a time when I was free, when I loved, when

I lived, when I drank deep from the ambrosia of life.

My eyes look back along that road, to where I became stuck,

And they leak tears of regret, for the life lived not,

Tears for the self I used to be, as I prepare to leave this mortal coil.

Eternity will be my judge, and I fear it will find me guilty.
