Perhaps

Perhaps my time has come
and I will be no more
A petal fallen from a tree
whisped away by the wind

No more music to my ears
a struggle now undone
A stranger long forgotton
leaving traces of dust to be swept

When song birds unite in harmony
and night lays the moon to rest
Soft breezes in the evenings air
may well be the road I travel

Words will be all I had
for children there are none
Paper logs will all be burned
too cumbersome to be kept

Out in the stream of digital
dreams there may be a shining light
And so it is when I am gone
the only evidence of my life

This gave me goose bumps, Electra...
I wonder how true this is for so many of us.

Yes, it is well done, though very sad and contemplative.

I did notice you need another "o" in "to" cumbersome...too cumbersome

and "maybe" should be "may be" in the way you are using it.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Vas,

Thank you for the proof read. I try to be sensitive to that. I guess I was just too tired when I wrote it! Appreciate the proofing and the comment.

Sincerely,
SimplyGold

Madame C,

This realization gives me goosebumps too!

It just spilled out. Think I'll go read "Decadance" again.

I know one thing for sure, when your days are done and gone (many, many years from now!)---you will have left a legacy of golden poems here at PIP.
