What Will You See Before You Die? Poem by Ray Lucero

What Will You See Before You Die?



What will you see right before you die?
Perhaps;
A hummingbird hovering outside your window?
A sailboat in a distant harbor?
An airplane high above?
A vase of red tulips by your hospital bed?
The face of a priest whispering prayers in your ear?
Tears running down your spouse's cheeks?
A yellow harvest moon?
Twin-Suns in a cloudless sky?
Your long-dead parents beckoning?
Angels dancing in your mind's eye?
The Radiant Face of God?
Nothingness?
As you fade away
