Requiem

    23/5/98 11:48- FINISHED 24/5/98 MIDNIGHT
    Charles Dum

    The sound of water falling from above
    As a little trickle drips down.
    Take a minute and just relax
    To it's gentle sound.

    Drip, drop
    Falling leaf by leaf-
    Blink your eyes and you'll miss it,
    It's moment is brief.

    But bask in it's glory,
    Let it tell you it's story-
    And you'll be glad you did.

    Let different light stream in,
    In the coloured strobe get a grin-
    Or else you'll wish you'd hid.

    For the reaper of souls
    Who takes all with indifference
    Is knockin' on my door-
    Ha already tore down my fence.

    Took out the dog,
    Dead bolt's unlocked-
    Rest of the family gone
    They were so shocked.

    So here's my requiem-
    My last farewell!
    I've had my fun,
    Can't you tell?
