LAST DAY

BRUCE LEE

ELEGY

LAST DAY

SHE OPENS THE DOOR

WITH A SMILE.

BRUCE COMES IN

LOOKING TIRED ,BUT CALM.

'DO YOU HAVE A PAIN KILLER?'

'OH BETTY, DEAR!

MY HEAD IS SPLITTING IN TWO!'

WITH CONCERN SHE HANDS HIM

SOME PILLS...'THIS WILL DO'

AND THE MEETING BEGINS.

HIS MIND WANDERS IN REALMS

HE HAVEN'T IMAGINED BEFORE,

HIS UNEASE DROWNS UNNOTICED

IN HIS EYES A GLIMPSE OF FEAR.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN HIS HEAD?

MAYBE IF HE GOES NOW TO BED?

WHEN THE MEETING IS OVER,

HE HUGHS BETTY CLOSER,

WITH A KISS SHE BEADS HIM

'TAKE CARE!'

FOR A MOMENT HE STARES

AT HER BEAUTIFUL FACE,

AND CLOSES THE DOOR WITH A SMILE.

OH ! SO TIRED HE FEELS.

TAKES SOME OTHER BLUE PILLS,

AND DECIDES TO SLEEP PAINS AWAY.

IN A MINUTE OR TWO,

HE WILL BE SOUND ASLEEP.

WITH HIS EYES CLOSED

HE BEGS FOR SOME PEACE...

AND HIS SOUL WANDERS OFF.

LOOKS AT HIM FROM ABOVE,

AND SAD KISSES IT BLOWS

FOR FAREWELL.

SHINING LIGHT ALL AROUND,

LIKE A STAR, BRIGHT HE GLOWS.

WAS A STAR IN THIS REALM...

AS A STAR TO THE UNKNOWN

NOW HE GOES....
