My Eco Death
I was lying naked.... in a woodland glade
(The hedgehog ball heard its last foxtrot)
Covered by branches.... of modest shade
(The nightingale blew out her candle)
On a bed of.... the softest moss
(The owl closed a squeaking dormouse)
Beneath a leafy blanket.... sharing my loss
(The queen bee was stung, by the sweet kiss of death)
Time to reflect.... after time to dwell
Surrounded by nature's.... dingly dell
My monitor's alarm.... the air did shell
And nurses rushed in.... to cancel the bell
An angelic smile.... a machine's last pips
A sigh of contentment.... escaping my lips
Peace.... Oh blessed peace
Peace.... at last
