Analysis of To Meet My Ending
Ronald-Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
A river bending
To meet my ending.
If I was laid to rest
Where the murky one's infest,
What would I say to my flesh
If I was floating in the waters of rest?
Where to me
The sailors see
A sinking measure,
A zestful treasure
In the sea.
A smoking debris.
A crackling fire
Smelting and welting.
My soul would depart
From the river
To the sky.
To heaven I fly.
I may cry
To meet my flesh,
Saying bye.
I would blossom and flower
Like a tree tower.
Newly born
From the seed
Of my flesh adorn.
