When I Bid Adieu

Wildflowers would boisterously bloom And sway with gay abandon Though I may stop counting my breaths. Warblers would welcome spring And sing sweet symphonies Though my ears may fail to hear. The starry sky would shimmer  And adorn the moonlit nights Though my eyes may be shrouded with naught. The autumnal wind would pirouette And waltz with the leaves of fall Though my shriveled skin may turn numb. The waves would ebb and flow Whispering the myriad songs of life Though my verses may stop midway. The rhythm of life would continue Glowing forever with my treasured footprints Though I may bid adieu to this world.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
