The Last Beat Poem by Shelley Frances

The Last Beat



I think that I shall slip on ahead
Quietly, suddenly with nothing to dread
Painless and instant yet not in a rush
No gripe, no fuss but whisper and hush
Spur of a moment, no agonized contemplation
Will cease to be with little reservation
Heart will sputter, unwilling to live
And finish one day giving all it could give
