Thank you, dear Dr. Tony. I am grateful to you for your kind words. Yes, we are all in the hands of the Almighty God.
The better half of my life's gone I stay between twilight and dawn. All seems gone and nothing left, I'm a loser, my Sun bereft. my earthly life burns down........from your poet's notes i understand your words in the poem much better........yes our life will end. But we have lived a life. that life is good and we have done a lot of good....... we shall offer our life into the hands of the loving and eternal father. Tony

Regrets and unrealized hopes and dreams. Hopelessness, given up and feeling of defeated. Such a mixture of strong feelings. Don't loose your faith in a helping hand. We are all lonely islands in the ocean of life. Hang in there. Congrats for POD.
Thanks, Amir. I will fight until I am completely broken and defeated. We all walk under God.
What a dark night - still and void. despair, deep and painful All illusions and hopes destroyed.
Hang in there, Valentin. Sometimes being alone with yourself is better than having the company of certain other people! Being alone also gives you the chance to come up with new poems. Your poem is touching. Keep listening to that voice that says 'not yet'. Don't be tempted to decide on your own that it's time. Let God decide.
Thank you very much, dear Coelho, for your wonderful comment. I completely agree with you. We are in the hands of God. It is Him to decide our fate.

Thank you, dear Tom, for your kind words and encouragement. With best wishes,
I'm hearing nothing, but silence! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Positive thoughts is one misses out in times of anxiety and illness. Good company is what one needs in old age.
Thank you very much, dear Sir. I agree with you. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
