They’ve all gone, one after the other
they all formed a family together
they’re no more ,vanquished by time
those who lived ,life in it’s many splendor
time is so valuable ,one may scarcely believe
it spares none ,rich poor alike
I feel restless, lest I should miss
the last bus the last bloom that be
I may forgo the last feast
or the last kiss savor
and a glimpse of my lovely cottage afar
that i shall not visit any longer
I want to shower, all my love
the darling souls those remember
That I did all I could !
parting thoughts, before parting ever …
A finely composed contemplative and poignant poem.
Suffused with overtones of melancholy the poem reminded me of the lyrics of Jacques Brel.
