Standing at Death’s Door
What are you thinking as you reach to knock? What do you see, hear, feel? Who is on your mind as you await the door’s opening, and which side of the door is that person on?

Knock Twice

I think back on my life, the way the sun felt on my face

The way he made me laugh so easily

How he filled me with love

so much love you could bathe in it

You could drown in it

And I dread having to part ways

Having to be the first one to say the final goodbye

I can hear him telling me to hold on a little bit longer

Just a little bit longer...

But I feel so tired, so out of my mind and body

As I hold my palm towards death's door

The instructions telling me to "Knock Twice when I'm ready"

I think about how rich I was in this life

How lucky I was to have all that love and support

And how I desperately wish I could stay forever

Go back to him and never leave his side

But my time is now

There is no other way

I knock twice as tears roll down from my eyes falling off my cheeks

The door opens and I find myself getting pulled inside

surrounded by nothing but darkness
