One Less Straw by Michael The world will not note my passing, or that there is more air to breathe, with less clutter in the landfills, one less straw in the basket weave. Burned cinders cast upon a beach, to drown in early morning tide, to mix with sands and be no more. I see no need that tears be cried. So very unremarkable, this heart that beat within your times, this man that fell and learned to crawl, that spent his days in making rhymes. Save tears, that they be better spent, on lives that shaped this world you see. I ask that not a single one, be wept for ashes swept to sea. No need for concern. It's just a poem  Stars will shine when I am gone Earth will spin on as before Gulls still race along the shore Morning star, still kiss the dawn ~ M.

I believe we would miss you, dear friend. If fact, I KNOW we would Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

You would indeed be missed...there is no one who could even begin to take your place upon these blue pages...A large gap would open from our tears of loss....**big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

You have helped to shape the world and make it a better place just by being in it with your art and written words. Don't you even think about departing for a very very long time! ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

Enjoyed this, Auguste, tho so very sad... One more tender heart surely to be missed One more emotion whispered without kiss one more man who failed to see his worth one unique soul who's loved upon this earth never go... ~Tier |

Auguste - I was about to call 911 until I saw your excerpt at the end saying that it was just a poem.lol This was really good. It is a shame that rhymes can't change the world. Dave |

Michael, Sheesh! This is sooooooo sad!!! I am glad it is just a poem and you're not feeling this way. Know that you would be missed, and my tears would fall.
