Dying All Around

http://yetmanpoetry.blogspot.com/ 

Image one last story book.

Time destroys everything

but that book sits, mounted on it's shelf.

Imagine one last chapter;

The last marathon ever ran.

Imagine the dying pages, the author's hope

put to paper by the very pen he died upon,

The very pen he depended on.

Imagine one last sentence,

a dying wish, a pleading wish

of peace and forgiveness.

Imagine one last word,

written to bring hope to a world,

that's dying all around.
