If you are #leaving,
#lights go off!
It doesn't take
much effort
to flip the switch!
The theatre is silent
the stage is empty
the performance
isn't done until
the last actor has left
the building!

the heavy snowfall,
a lonesome swallow perches
on a forgotten postbox
its cry drifting into silence.

Dad limped because of polio, but it didn't slow his pace.
He played sports and even climbed mountains.
After his 100th birthday, he began falling frequently.
His fading footsteps led to a motorized wheel chair
to avoid missing out on anything.
