when I'm gone

When I'm gone .......... When I'm gone There'll be no more words, My skin will turn to dust My thoughts will cease My breath stops Where I'm going after this I do not know. After this journey My worth won't matter, The pain from this world might cease Or they may just begin Whatever I do now I do just in vain My real purpose lies beyond these things Where I'm going? Don't ask me. When I close my eyes Words of love will cease, Her hands will let go Her warmth will fade When the light ceases My soul is but liberated After this............. What next?. As my body grows cold My journey ends, Those memories I had They're but forgotten Death is sure But the question is Who will I end up with. Gone will be the poems you see Gone will be the words you read, My time here is certain My departure sure Stamped already are the words of time He knows when I depart For uncertainties are sure to arise These are all there will be When I'm gone. © Adiela Michael
