Notes About The Poem

Everything Was Fading

 " There is a life and there is a death,
and there are beauty and melancholy between."

                                           Quote _ Albert Camis

Everything was fading ...
and I was just floating,
in a white gauzy place;
and I heard mother's voice,
then, glimpses of her face !

Everything was fading ...
my name was an echo,
in a forest sublime;
I ran towards her voice,
that sweet voice lost in time !

Everything was fading ...
I ran through tangled trees,
weeping, please wait for me;
and the soft wind whispered,
go back-   angel would be !

Everything was fading ...
I could hear odd noises,
sister kissing my hand;
her tears wet on my skin,
back- I held tight her hand !

Everything was fading ...
the forest became dreams,
yet, I was filled with peace;
and my heart held no doubt,
life is a masterpiece !
