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.
