At Last Poem by Ted Sheridan

At Last

Rating: 4.4


Escaping the confinement of a tin urn, my ashes
are soon dispensed by a gentle sea breeze
All which remains is lifted like it had wings,
from out of the southeast, warmed
by the Gulf streams temperament;
I am not the slightest bit cold.
Scattered like a purified dew
on the face of a virgin sea
I am finally free…

there is more than just a sense of serenity in this work, becoming amplified straight through to the final line. yet, it (as sarcasm in some of your other pieces) covers a deep-seeded resentment that emerges here and there. personally it is a style that I like and just my opinion. overall, one of my favorites. -Tailor

Hi Ted, I loved the picturesque poetic tone in your writing… How you negated the feeling “cold” as the foremost description of dying because now the dead is one with the air and water… beautiful words and expressions. Deva
