Everyone I Knew Is Gone Poem by Thomas Noel Smith

Everyone I Knew Is Gone



Everyone I knew is gone
The birds have flown away
Toward some secret place they know.

Leaving me alone to gaze
At the vacant trees
As a spirit wind blows through their limbs

But there’s a stillness
In my heart,
For all my friends are gone

I wait alone for the messenger
To come to me some night
And say to me with steady words

“It’s now time for you to go.”
