I want to thank all you Poets, who have taken the time.
Whom have, from your busy lives, read my efforts at rhyme.

I have come to the end of a journey ???, as interests began to wane
and nothing seems to garner inspiration, there is nothing to gain

by continuing down this path I have traversed for twenty eight years,
expressing pain, passion, love, understanding and heartache full of tears.

Caves

Old, single, alone, life can be like living in a dark, damp cave.
A voice reminisces, echoing off the stone walls what one gave.

Throwing it back at one, all that one once knew, to be true.
Memories, moments, experiences once lived, now are few.

This library is in decay, nothing much left to do or to say.
One realizes, as the sun is setting,  it’s soon to be the last day.

With this coronavirus, {{ COVID-19 }} circling this planet.
For the vulnerable, “ it’s soon to be the last day.” if they get

caught up in its talons, its claws tearing at the tissue of each lung.
A dirge for this world, and humanity, a dirge for years, will be sung.
