If you’ve seen death then you know it’s not ever what you expect.
It comes in many colors: gunmetal grey, Easter egg blue, morning yellow.
There’s music: one time it’s Billie Holiday, another it’s Black Francis,
sometimes it’s a soft voice saying I love you, have a good life;
good-bye.

Reading this once was not enough. Excellent!
Wonderful writing. We have so much to learn about life….and death…to be revealed to us all one day.
It’s very subtle and makes me wonder how many more things will happen in my live before this unexpected end
Thank you
A quite unusual description of the end that made me think about it again.
This is such a bewitching poem that makes you think about death again. People expect something grandiose after the end of their lives for their comfort, but in reality, disappointment awaits us
Thank you all for taking the time to read and comment.
It is greatly appreciated.

Death is a topic that can evoke a range of emotions and experiences. This piece beautifully captures the different shades and sounds that accompany the end of life. It’s a reminder that death is not always dark and somber, but can also be filled with unexpected colors and melodies. It’s a poignant exploration of the complexities of mortality.
