The Blue Sky Calls My Name

~ Frank Solanki

All my life I have feared

I may lose all that’s dear

But now all that seems so clear

…

As I lie on this rough bed

As I count my final breaths

Death has lost all of its dread

…

Oh mother, you know I love you

Tell Dad I love him too

Oh lord, it was a thrilling ride

Going out with love and pride

Tell me, what is that sound?

Shots fired all around

All is changed, all is same

The blue sky calls my name

…

Every dream I had in me

Everything I wished to be

Are now lost in memories

…

Breaking free from all my chains

All is changed, all is same

With the sky calling my name

  1. The description here gives me a mental image of a soldier caught in a battle with insufficient cover. The bullets are coming closer and he knows one or more will soon find him. This poem, to me, is him making his peace with a fate he cannot avoid. Good writing!

  6. I like this one Frank ^-^ It reminded me of my run today. Sometimes I stand ontop this bridge and feel like I could just fly away. It’s funny. I don’t even remember ever wanting to die. When I stand on that bridge now, I touch the sky. Have a beautiful day hm hm ^-^
