Until

I see you resting on those yellow sheets,

The sun illuminates your skin transparent,

Your body a strong cocoon,

But your light is slowly fading.

Outside spring is blooming,

Your eyes as blue as the sky,

Hair shimmering in silver and white,

But your light is slowly fading.

Your limbs are restless,

Your hands clap clap clap,

‘I am so happy’ is what you say,

But your light is slowly fading.

Memories keep you awake,

All the pictures in your room,

The silhouettes come and stroke your face,

But your light is slowly fading.

‘I can’t anymore’ ‘It’s okay’,

And your light is slowly fading,

Fading and then soon be gone,

But at the other end that’s where

Your light will shine forever.
