Before I go - Lawrence
Before I go,
let me paint my final verse,
A tapestry of life,
in its blessing and curse.
Through brushstrokes of hardship,
I found my way,
In the canvas of existence,
where colors sway.
Loneliness,
a shadow that danced in the night,
Compassion,
a beacon that guided my sight.
In solitude's embrace,
I learned to mend,
With love's gentle touch,
my heart could transcend.
True happiness,
a melody in life's grand score,
Prosperity, not in riches,
but in what we adore.
Reality's whispers,
a truth we all must face,
Yet art, a refuge,
in every corner,
every space.
Lessons abound,
etched in every stroke,
Spectacle moments,
a symphony bespoke.
In the gallery of memories,
I leave my trace,
For my beloved,
a legacy, a final embrace.
As twilight beckons,
and stars softly gleam,
I breathe my last,
in the canvas of my dream.
Let my colors linger,
in each cherished hue,
In this final moment,
I bid this world adieu.
