Hello Stacy,

welcome to PnQs. It is always nice to see new poets joining and sharing their work.

I like the paragraph free form format. Within this is a sad resigned point of view. The description of laying on 'cold hard steel' sets the tone from the off. To me it makes me think of a morgue table and so a cadaver making this speech. This is powerful as it is written in the first tense and the relationship with the reader is instantly fraught. I like this as it grabs the attention like nothing else; no preamble, just death. The main body is also sad, but in a way sweet too. The dialogue I think is to a loved one, wanting their reassurance at this daunting time. The time between death and the after life.
The ending is a perfect statement, total devotional love.

Well done Stacy a well written piece that gripped me from the start. I especially like the unique placement of the possible thoughts and feelings one would have after their death.

Keep writing...

Take care,

Michael
