Last Refrain Poem by Sonya Florentino
Last Refrain
Did I just write my last poem
Is this my farewell song
Did I take on this journey
To reach this dead-end road
Will there be no more love songs
Can someone be too old
To keep believing, still be dreaming
of happiness and love
Did I just write my last song
Just 'one more for the road'
A song of old and worn cliches
But now they are my own
Did I just write my last rhyme
Should I now close the door
Should I be putting up a sign
'No More Visitors'
I don't know where to go now
Should I just stay and wait
Can I endure the silence
and the emptiness I face
Did I just sing my last song
Was that my 'last refrain'
The sky is turning black
and it's coming down rain

Poetry is very addictive and life sustaining. I also dread writing that last song. Your last stanza is quite effective. I can hear the elegiac sound of the rain. Lovely... In poetry and in life, Sandra
