Poetry: Departure

by JustJanice

Created on: October 06, 2009


If I could fly

I'd visit where no mortal can

I'd soar and soar so high

To where someone has ran.

We'd sit on a cloud and have one more chat

About everything we possibly could

If only he'd come again in a dream

Oh.....if only he would!

A spur of the moment act

When feeling deep pain

What is it that causes the fact

To take one's own life in vain.

It will be easy he thought and reckoned

To go to sleep forever

If only he'd thought just for a second

To return he could never.

Some say a selfish act it is

Bravery, Cowardice, it is none of these

His pain we'll never know that early morning under the trees.

He went to meet his maker

Where peace and joy are on the line

But why didn't he realise

Forever is a very long time.
