The funeral of the last human. |
Little over a month has passed, The Earth laments humanity's final act And offers its own flowers, sad and sparse Where footsteps once trod, now there's only lack. The Earth now plays its own melody Without human noise, pure and serene Wind sways the leaves with gentle harmony Raindrops join in, completing the scene. The warmth of humans is long gone Their memories lost, their stories untold The writing, unread, will soon be gone No language to decipher, all secrets unfold. Would it be nice to linger on As a ghost in this green paradise Feeling the warmth of a shining sun Seeing a world so alive and wise? This is the end, no human sight Shall see beyond the veil of life Imagination, our only flight To a place beyond, a world so rife. Goodbye, our home, we gave our all Every feeling we felt, belonged to thee Even in death, you have a place for all Your embrace a refuge, for eternity. Perhaps my feelings were never my own But yours, my every step, a dance Guided by you, dust flying, gracefully flown In stillness or movement, swaying in trance. Will you welcome the new eyes that see As kindly as you did to me before? I guess I'll never know, for I shall sleep But in dreams, I'll love you evermore. Word Count: 224 |
