I Shall Leave This World

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 3, 2024

I shall leave this world


Like the flickering flame

Of a candle about to lose

Its breath in the darkness


Like the shadow of cloud

On its silent voyage

Over the ocean of light


Like the last blot of ink

On a yellow page that shrouds

The letters of a poem


Like the falling leaf

That whispers to the ground

Its dying wish


Like the last moments

Of a dissolving dream
