What would you do if given one final wish?
Last Wish

At the moment I'm embraced by death,
what choices will be afforded me?
What one last decision with dying breath
will take me into eternity?
May I go aloft in a hot air balloon
to linger awhile in star-speckled skies?
Hitch a fine cloud to float round the moon,
and only then make my final goodbyes?
I know it may seem brashly inopportune
and even a little bit ill-advised
to suggest death might grant me this slight delay.
But given one encore of life's last tune,
I know that I'll surely be satisfied,
content to alight for my final stay.

Author Notes
Even many with profound faith in the afterlife cling to the life we have here. What if you could delay that moment of finality just a little bit? What would you do if you could check off just one item on your bucket list before kicking the bucket? This is just my little fantasy about what I might ask for.
