Released from a capsule
a dark encapsulated death
a cessation an instant of last drawn breath
at the end of a dream that never came true
the skeleton rainbow ahead of arrival
with never a guarantee of survival
locked into a past and present embrace
a fatal return to a state of grace.
Three dark couplets, Ray, and very affecting. Sometimes brevity works - it certainly does here. Tony

Thanks for the like Stephen.
Thanks Tony, I did some tweaking to this as I know how critical it can be with short poems not to wander off the point . I'm pleased you found it worked.
