Swan Song Poem by Uche Nwanze

I take a vow to bow out now.
Every journey will come to its destination.
Every dance will come grind to a halt.
Every race will reach its finish line.
Every story will get to its end.
Every orgasm will reach its climax.
Every book will get to the last page.

It is time to take a bow.
This is my cue behind the queue.
This is my swan song on the big stage of life.
It is time for lights out.
It is time I exited the stage.
It is time to go behind the scene.


I bear no grudges.
I wear no frown.
I fear no death.
I near no regret.
I hear no plaudits.

I take with me only beautiful memories.
I bequeath my goodwill and friendship.
I take a vow to bow out now.
