Diminishing Senses

shared a kiss goodbye took in the scent of the rose my eyes see nothing heard crows call from distant trees that is until the lid closed. © Harry J Horsman 2017

The final stages leading to a dead end! Fortunately death can also be the start of increasing senses! Regards // paul

Wow, quite the surprise ending. At least the lid will prevent the crows from feasting. Thanks for the visit Harry.

Hi Jan, yes the poem is really asking a question...who says everything dies at once?
