A Forgotten wish

The seas wore

an executioner's robe

whose waves sung

the pathos of my bid

I followed the ripples

that lured me toward

the door that showed me

the depth to my end

 

It burst to reveal

a last wish

I enclaved within

the bubble kissed

by the breath that left

none to follow

to the waves that read

my words of sorrow

 

The last wish

that solemnly said

as the sun sinks

for darkness to rise

as a leaf falls

for autumn to rise

I shed my life

for the rise of me

behold my soul

as a seed to sprout

a blissful rebirth

from my blemished past

Days flew by

the sun reborn

from the womb of darkness

for whom he sank

seasons flew by

the leaves reborn

from the womb of autumn

for whom he fell

but the sea which once

coffined a corpse

failed to leave

an infant reborn

from the waves that struck

the desolate shores

but abandoned a shell

which enclosed within,

the soul of a being

who perished his life

to fulfill a wish

forgotten with time
