The Last Heartbeat Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

there must be
one day
last heartbeat

How will it happen?

Heart weak tired expired?

Can beat no more?

Died of old age?

No one
dies
of old age!

Though people
do die in old age!

Yet something
stopped
last heartbeat?

Medical condition
aggressive disease
starvation a bullet?

the last heartbeat
had cause effect
was death terminal

last thoughts feelings
heart mind served
individual final moment?
