Adieu..

The light flickered, over the dull green meadow

The baker started kneading his morning dough

The rooster woke up, his pupils constricting

And the light from the room, slowly fading

The children walked through, on their way to school

 As the herder woke to graze his mule.

Inside, I screamed in pain

Of course, my efforts were in vain

As I dozed away, my eyes opened one last time

I took a deep breath and the fire grew fiercer

The curtains drew apart completely now, finally giving me the final view

I felt my body dripping away from the pleasant loo

The rooster shrieked his doodle

The mule gained freedom

Up came the Sun, prepared was the baker’s bun

The Man beside me readied the snuffer

The sun overcame the light

I felt a gentle blow upon my head

Finally, I rest my best

After my time stopped ticking

The wax stopped dripping
