If Only I Could

If only I could just walk away go some place and get lost, Lie down to rest and forever wake not. From where, Life-- the ever-elusive temptress— just couldn't wean me away, Where no trace of mine could be found if she came looking my way. Wrapping around me the shroud of death, I'll lie dead still in the womb of eternity. When somewhere I wake again-- If again I do wake indeed, I'll drop the world there and roam the heavens free of care! ~04/23/23 ~Contest: 'This or That, Vol. 17' ~Title: If only I could ~Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
