Retirement

Faces and voices

Known for years

Suddenly extinguished.

 

Life moves on as

The world you knew

Glides past your door

Trailing a muted murmur

Of words and laughter.

 

Your place already filled

Your input once essential

Desired no longer.

 

Your briefcase empty

At Your feet

A relic of a life

That once was

You

 

Raymond Morrow

Okay, you did it again. Knocked my socks off. I retired. Once. I had to go back to who I was. I'll probably die at my desk.
