            Ah, my friend.  It came and went too quickly.


For you see….


 


During my last weeks, I saw a sound.


You heard me right. I said I saw a sound!


It reminded me of the sound of green.


Not a caliginous green, but an envious green.


 


Through my last day, I heard a feeling.


Ah, yes my friend.  I said I heard a feeling!


It was similar to the color of depression.


Not a ebony depression, but a tender depression.


 


Toward my last evening I felt a fragrance.


You are correct. I said I felt a fragrance!


It had a hint of thunder.


Not a clamorous thunder, but a gently rolling thunder.


 


 Within my last hours I tasted  time.


Yes, kind soul, I said I tasted time!


It was the essence of a singular blooming rose.


Not a bitter rose, but a melodious rose.


 


And finally, in my last moments I smelled sorrow.


I am not prevaricating.  I said I smelled sorrow.


It was the fragrance of clouds.


Not sinewy, threatening clouds, but billowy, virginal clouds.


 


Ah, my friend.  It came and went too quickly.


                          But it was spectacular!

Gorgeous!! Raging with brilliance. This is one of those where you go, "Why didn't I think of that?!" But it's so brilliant, lol, I don't think I'd ever make something as good as that. I love how poetic it truly is. GREAT job.

Blessings, + Brittany
