In The End

Today was the closest she saw death..
Death to a body.
Body is in so much pain and suffering,
Aching from the deadly malady...

The eyes spoke the most of all
Had so much to say
Every spasm of pain shone right through..
There's the helpless cry...

Is the soul waiting for freedom
From so much agony?
Surely its a sweet relief to feel
nothing and flee..

But before it rests in peace,
did the soul be happy?
All those decades spent in pursuit
Ended in something..peace..?

Watching those eyes she wondered how
the many days filled those many decades...
Was the end always kept in mind?
And now, any regrets of any kind?
