I give up
now
I have reached the bridge
which I must
cross
I look forward to
the finale
Death
but my dues from life
are unpaid
Yet

I just read that three separate times and had three separate reactions to it. At first it was heavy and felt a little dark. But then the more I read it, the more it seemed like an exhale of acceptance after a long journey.

You used one of my favourite forms, and included a bridge image (as did I) but I was doubling.
Well done. I have never tried to link the tilus as skillfully as you did.

Thank you. Linkages just happen, if one is trying to make a point.

Wow! Thanks for the powerful entry to today’s challenge. The accounting of those dues is a consuming thought, at times. Very nice!
