POETICbug_I do not wish forever
If life was forever,
There would be no Fall,
No leaf would crumble,
In this world's fancy ensemble.

There is grace in leaving,
Like beauty that Autumn brings,
And for every leaf that is gone,
A new one would be born.

I do not wish forever and live alone,
Writing epitaph on loved ones tombstone,
I pray to stay enough,
With compassion and love.

But when I am gone far away,
I wish my memories may
linger without any grumble,
In this world's fancy ensemble.

  6. I wish to disappear like a shooting star,
    and face the death which would heal all my scars.

    Now these which I read,
    seem like a medicine for those who read.

    As right now, at these words I gaze,
    wonder how easily, can they amaze.

    Great!

    God bless you.
