The Sweetness of Farewell

This moment is the last,

My senses now at their peak.

I'll take them in with every breath,

And hold onto them, lest they should leave.

First, I'll feel the warmth of the sun,

As it caresses my skin with its rays.

I'll close my eyes and let it seep in,

And savour it for my final phase.

Next, I'll breathe in the scents around,

The sweet fragrance of my favourite flower.

I'll let it fill my lungs and intoxicate,

For it will not last beyond this hour.

I'll listen to my loved ones words,

With attention and care, as my heart yearns.

Their parting wisdom, a treasure to hold,

A legacy of love, more precious than gold.

I'll taste the earths flavours without a care,

Savouring each bite with no despair,

For in this moment, all is right,

And worries fade like stars in the night.

And finally, I'll touch the world one last time,

With silk clothing and cotton bedding entwined.

I'll run my fingers through the softest weave,

A texture so comforting, I'd never want to leave.
