When Breath Becomes Air

i lay peacefully, my eyes closed amidst chaos
i hear wails, friends mourning over a great loss
rubbing my eyes , as i wake up
i have a look at myself - and i freak up!
i find my arms covered in blood & bruises
deep wounds through which blood oozes
my neck in bandages restricting breath
i try to cry,scream,run - somehow escape death!
hearing heavy steps, i look up and what i see
is a tall , black cloaked man in front of me
the monitor besides me suddenly beeps
and the ecg flattens out as i weep
the pain,the suffering ends in the blink of an eye
is this because im about to die?
Alas! There go the grudges , lies and deceptions,
all the dreams , plans and ambitions
my world changes, priorities flee
my sins and my deeds, now all i see
i look back and there lies my body lifeless
as i walk behind the tall man in a black dress
