The Light
The old man lies on his death bed.
In his vision he sees the light.
It calls to him and beckons.
Its glow brings him peace.
He knows he's supposed to stay away, but wonders.
Why should he continue to struggle?
How does he know what's wrong and what's right?
Living means more pain.
Though his family is still there.
Is that enough?
He doesn't know.
Indecision is a decision.
He gravitates towards the light.
He's leaving this world behind now.
Leaving for paradise.
Why should he stay after all?
The tears of his family are far behind him now.
