Happy ending by Richard Trotter If thoughts are left long enough will they change into butterflies rampaging beauty with a ghostly flicker fluttering against an ageing canvas and concentrating on the fog? Wooden wheels rattle down the lane You, pensive in the desolate yard but crumbling bricks can be rebuilt Smooth the edges in my selfish ending how mist makes you more lovely. So I'll set alight each heavy page and watch them burn in delight lifting the load from the future ashes drift into the smog and our last days are precious 05/10/2006 Posted on 05/10/2006 Copyright © 2026 Richard Trotter Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Scott Utley on 07/19/09 at 07:19 PM I am in LOVE with this!
