DEATH and BEYOND, a sonnet

Let easy death be my painless surprise

In deepest sleep with an exciting dream

My expression locked in a look so wise

Even so I am sure my wife will scream

Will I be hovering above the deathbed

Listening to what those who gather said

What a wonderfully good man he was

If there is a godly judge awaiting

My hope is that the good outweighed the bad

The scales are worth extant contemplating

If I wait too long I may end up sad

Once I cross River Styx no returning

Maybe I will be in heaven and glad

Otherwise this body may be burning

(This sonnet was written in January, 2017)
