My Mind's Candlelight

"What is life but a secession of preludes to unwritten words" Quote..." Constance La France " Memories contain my mind's candlelight as death will come like a setting sun My life's final breath becomes a long night In its dim-lit shades, I'll find what was right the years I know have already begun Memories contain my mind's candlelight All that is left are the poems I will write that show a life lived I could not outrun My life's final breath becomes a long night My days and nights turn before they take flight with my written words of passion undone My memories contain my mind's candlelight When I die they'll find poems to recite even if they are read-only for fun My life's final breath becomes a long night To those I love, I will leave my requite as I've shared my years, life's circle has spun Memories contain my mind's candlelight My life's final breath becomes a long night 11/15/22 contest Writing Challenge...V-forms Quote # 3 Writing sponsor Constance La France
