                    Wrinkles
   The leaves fall gently through the autumn sky
   And they land on the ground so softly. Cold
   And darkness draw near, closing in on my
   Lone soul. I sigh with fragile breaths, yet bold
   With age. The wrinkles seem to hide my fear.
   My heart cries out, just screaming to be free.
   The voice yells, "Let me go!" Its loudness near,
   Yet seeming far. The time, I can now see,
   Is precious, and my clock has come to end.
   I sit not moving, waiting to be cast
   Aside. My body old, too weak to mend.
   The sorrow, pain, and hardships all have passed.
   The tree is bare now. I take my last breath.
   At once I fall into the arms of death.

Welcome to Passion's.

'I sigh with fragile breaths'

A sad refrain among the
fallen leaves from the tree of life.

I felt the person dying had the one thing that time doesn't take away from you..
Dignity. I enjoyed it very much.
