Gone With The Wind

pretty soon...

it will be over

i could feel my heart beating,

"thud, thud"

i heard the wind say,

"come, come,

away from that body

come and play with me"

"don't worry," i replied

"soon, we will be together;

soon this rope 

is going to take

the life out of me"

"my son! my son! 

what have you done?!"

my parents cried

"father, mother, i am sorr - "

"you are so stupid!"

they exclaimed

"you are selfish!

you are good for nothing!

you are an idiot!

you..."

silence followed

i was glad it all stopped

"hello, my friend",

said the wind.

This poem sounds better when spoken.

This made me feel the way that I felt when I read Watership Down for the first time as a kid.
***SPOILER ALERT***
The end saw the rabbit spirit calling the central character (which signified dying). I was happy and devastated at the same time.
