DYING A DEATH

Oh my near and dear!
don't stretch my life 
beyond nature's favour.
When death is a certainty,
why are you so reluctant
to accept the reality?
When hours and days are numbered
of what use adding a few more?

My body never listens to what i say,
my mind is not with me, somewhere else.
I am not the same I was,
the battle is over, yet to fight the war.
How long you will stretch my life and what for?
Is a body having very little in it
going to serve you and your purpose anymore?

Don't drag me to the icy,
I don't want to languish in pain
waiting for a death so difficult to come by.
I lived life to the full,
let me live my last days as I wish
with all that I loved and lived with.
In open air and bright sunlight 
let me take my last breath 
in the midst of kith and kin,
take the last few steps 
slowly and silently and feel the moment
that stands between  life and death.

Don't put me on a ventilator,
I never want to lie motionless 
enduring all the pain that comes my way,
silently  suffering with none of my friends 
hands and legs, eyes and ears to stand by.

Imagine life on life supports,
how horrible it is with organs after organs
failing leaving me to witness my trusted friends dying one by one making me the sole survivor to endure the pain and agony
with a few drops of tears oozing out of my eyes.

My dear!
death is a peaceful transition from
one state of consciousness to another,
our ignorance, desire and attempt to stretch it make it unnatural, 
unbearable, sad and pathetic.
If you love me, let me die as such
with the cool breeze and bright sunshine drenching the whole of me.
Let me bid farewell 
to my beautiful  world where I was loved and betrayed, smiled and cried, lived the whole of my life in hope and despair.
