Softly Into Eternity Poem by Heather Burns

Softly Into Eternity

Rating: ★4.0


Once upon a time
long ago
a young lassie
whispered

'No matter what
happens
tomorrow
I will love you
the day after.'

Little did she
realize
how quickly he
would vanish

As a flower
dropping petals
softly into eternity.

That gentle passing like a flower dropping its petals is lovely!

Did he run away or perish we will never know, love spoken married their connection.

What a wonderful thing to say about a mean old man.
