Once You Wrote

Once you wrote a diary 

You are dead 
  
But live forever 

As your verse

   ... 

Day by day 

You stroke a pencil 

Sketching on a page 

Then you die in your bed. 

    ... 
  
The day just started 

Innocent as a child 

Wonder in awe 

The sun slowly ascend 

The shaft of light 

Broke the prism inside a dew drop 

The grasses 

Swayed its trinket 

From orange cloud. 

   ... 

  
Afternoon immersed 

Darkness unfold 

An old man in the window 

Watched with disbelief 

A few hours from now 

He'll  go die on the bed. 

   ... 
  
The world was silent 

All colors drained 

Still awoke hand on the white page 

Collects the debris float on the head 

Asked if its time 
  
To die again in the bed.
