I am about to leave camp in the thunder
If lightning strikes me it will be a blunder
My quills are bent, the ink well is dry
This being my last poem, I know you won’t cry.
No need to create a book jacket for my book
People wouldn’t take the time to look,
I’ll leave out the year it was printed
People would skip over pages and be contented.
Although writing provided me with a rewarding fulfillment
My styles and skills were less than diligent,
I shed some light for you to see
Enjoy what you do and be happy like me.
Thank you to those who read my books!
You learn how to overcome adversities
Conquering goals, becoming steadfast
Enjoy the achievement to which you strived for
Eternity
is the eden beyond the universe
where chains can't reach anyone
in the celestial ocean
where one craves endless adventure
to create a book
that can't be closed
It is time to take a break.
Not from writing but from school.
Time to grab my paper and pen and start inspiring and helping people.
Time to create a book that will help people break the pain they feel in their hearts and minds.
For the holidays I want to bring people joy by lighting up their hearts.
Time to get down to writing and break from the darkness for good.
Watch out.
For this light will blind you.
Make sure you break free.
