A while
I am the one before I was none
It is too late now, to be undone
Burning with fire, of the same energy sun
The moments are here, a time to go on
Silence is calling, for a long life to run
Days rush into night, when the lights are gone
Claimed by darkness, while under layers of ton
A short story has ended, but the writing is never done.
