Respice Finem (Consider The End) Poem by Christopher Tye

Respice Finem (Consider The End)

Requiem of lost dreams,
Eternally stuck between heaven and hell,
Strength slipping away with the years,
Plans collapsing around you at the end,
Internal struggles between body and mind,
Coffins awaiting soulless bodies at the end,
Everybody should consider the end,
Finishing life with a flourish at the end,
Irrespectively looking back at life,
Never achieving anything of note,
But achieving more than I ever dreamed off,
Epilogue of a wasted life and dashed hopes,
That could have been so much more,
Mortal body giving way to eternal spirit.
