Whoosh


Whoosh, The candle goes out. So fast. No one saw it coming. Whoosh., Suddenly everything is black. Tears are shed, By the hundredfold. Whoosh, A coffin becomes his bed. Flowers, singing, People mourn the loss. Whoosh, Who would’ve thought, That one would die so young. So much life left to live. Whoosh, A beautiful, wonderful memory, Hanging, In everyone’s minds. Whoosh, A shooting star, That was beautiful, While it lasted. Whoosh, One life, Just whooshed out. Like that. Whoosh, A new life beginning, A new star shooting. The earth is in balance again. All it takes is a whoosh, and a candle goes out. All it takes is a whoosh, and life begins anew. Whoosh.
