But still I wonder

Will I stop writing poetry
when my hands begin to tremble 
and when my hair has fallen out?

When I'm short of breath,
my eyesight feeble 
and my legs are weak?

When I lose my hearing,
my yearning for passion
and my craving for adventure?

What about when 
I become forgetful
and cannot find the words?

What if I'm ill and 
fall into an abyss where 
the sun will never shine?

Will I stop writing then
knowing I can hardly
hold a thought or pen?

I should think not.
I don't think I'll ever 
run out of things to say.
