Janetta Harrington Poet Free verse

You Went In Your Own Way

you went your way

i sat there as you released
your spirit and that old
wicked smile played
upon your lips

i listened as you
whispered something
to someone only
you knew was there

i heard the clock
go

tick 
tock...just
one 
time

and your face lit...
then dimmed

you laughed low
and you finally 
got to go home

by janetta

those of indian culture say that
a final poem or song has to
have one error.
