Farewell To All

On mountaintops I’d sing the verses of my poetry under the umbrella of a starry night’s full moon stand at a podium overlooking the vast blue sea in foreign tongues half ad lib and half reciting I’d stand up tall and clear my voice so I could project as loud as loud can be I’d find the words to move both earth and sea as well as depths of every human heart and soul I’d talk of love sympathy and kinship a lot about peace and compassion I’d promote the many healing benefits of forgiveness and understanding I’d dig deep to portray the imagery that would move mankind to tears I’d find a way like never done before to propel my witty rhymes emphatically I’d aim to capture life in all its glory wisely encapsulate bold message scattered by every earthly wind for it to travel over land and sea If all goes according to my plan the universe would be rid of wars cruel bitterness and disillusion no more hurts or disappointments My epic poem of everlasting love would be my heartfelt legacy launched to you the world from me a most extravagant display of fireworks while checking out I’d curtsy left and right and to all bid a fond adieu ~ Read on air by invitation ~ April 14, 2021 'WORDS & MUSIC' AP: 3rd place 2021 Submitted on March 20, 2022 for contest YOUR PEACE MESSAGE TO THE WORLD sponsored by ANOUCHEKA GANGABISSOON - RANKED 1ST on July 17, 2020 for contest IF THIS WAS MY LAST POETRY CONTEST POEM sponsored by SILENT ONE - RANKED 1ST
