"Here I am alone with My Death to Be " --- poem by Koon Woon

Here I am alone with my death

to be …

 

It will not hesitate to say hello and just as quickly, good-bye…

 

It will not come from the left or from the right,

only thing is: it is never quite

 

what you expected…

 

Brief, brief, precarious candle,

wavering in the night,

burning, burning still giving light…

 

But lightly She will come,

more alluring than anything I’ve seen with

my eyes…

 

And just as mesmerizing, I see my soul begin

to take flight…

 

But where, where, can I find safe harbor?

 

(unfinished…)
