Notes About The Poem

Date written: 05/24/2026

Evanescence

faint sound
not found

                    pale light
                    soon night

spring gloom
still blooms

                    slow breath,
                    now death

lone leaf
stays brief

                    quick spark,
                    then dark

dew drops,
then stops

                    last sigh
                    goodbye
