Love Poem: Life?

Life?

Is my life only to be felt like I'm
stumbling in the dark? How
are we to accept the insurmountable, 
the inevitable changing seasons 
of our life? 
Is there some grand surprise when 
we finally arrive?
When what we’ve come to know
reach’s it’s end.
I fight back my tears until they rebel.
Desperate they have become,
finding any opportunity for relief. 
As my spirit is weary within my 
body’s aging shell. 
I’m told everything has it's purpose, 
I just wish I could remember mine. 
Being willing too, I’m told 
will lighten my dark paths surface.
I try to hide my fears, hoping there 
is a God and be merciful,in 
that I might find I still exist 
long after father time.
Is the fear of death universal?
Never to escape the same fate 
as those who have gone before. 
Expected to just let go of life 
when that day comes. 
How am I to go? 
Perhaps suffer from a disease’s 
fatal blow?
Hold on the brakes are gone.
But where are we going? 
Some say heaven some say hell. 
Will I then be freed from 
sorrows spell? 
What I really want to know is, 
Will I die without love I could 
never find? Or will love find me 
in the nick of time?
