In Thought’s quiet Room, I wonder \u2014
Will my leaving, make the world fonder?
In Law’s halls, where truths are bandied,
Lurks a query, deep, stranded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Night’s still frame, where Shadows dance,
I’m lost \u2014 in a spectral trance.
Portraits of Souls, once alive and dear,
Now but whispers \u2014 that I hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each tells a tale, in frozen hue,
A silent ode \u2014 to the life they knew.
Do they portend of the Unknown,
Or speak of seeds we’ve sown?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Life’s grand Play, our parts we cast,
Leaving echoes \u2014 long and vast.
Yet, in this quiet gallery’s gaze,
A question burns \u2014 through the haze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In each face, my own I see,
Echoing back \u2014 what might be.
Heavy hangs the Question \u2014 dire,
Will my end quench or stoke the fire?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through morbid fascination’s lens,
Seeking answers \u2014 and amends.
In Death’s face, Life’s tale is spun,
A story of the Many \u2014 and the One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, I gaze \u2014 at the forever still,
Pondering if my absence will,
In Thought’s quiet Room, I wonder, late \u2014
Will my leaving, alter fate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
