When Death Speaks

I am about to perish forever,
but few tastes of life I am still to savor.
I am yet to feel the real beauty,
am yet not over with my petty duties.  
I know my end is nearing me,
in some time, I won't hear or see.
But I still have a few unspoken words,
I still have to see before my vision is blurred. 
 a thousand places I have never been to,
with green grass below and sky above blue.
I wish I had just some time more left,
so that I could die free from this bereft. 
 Time in my life had never stopped,
the pace of life had never dropped.
and I never wished so when I was alive
but now for a single breath I do strive.  
I wish I could tell you one more time,
that when I see you my heart chimes.
you were the best thing I ever had
leaving you behind makes me incomplete and sad. 
 But now it’s time for me to leave,
my nerves can feel the special eve.
so goodbye all my friends and foes,
my last wave to all before my eyes close.
