Look for me
When my soul absconds away from its earthen tomb,
When my flesh decays, and my bones are laid bare,
I will still be here
I will be the echo of a shout of glee caught in the wind,
I will be the four leaf clover nestled atop the bunch, ready for plucking,
I will be the double rainbow boldly coloring an angry gray sky,
I will be the second soda can that falls from the vending machine,
I will haunt you with little treasures and trinkets,
I will leave a wave of luck in my wake,
I will surrender my soul to stay a little while longer,
To force your muse to show up when you call to her
I will go beyond the ends of this earth, this realm, this reality,
To ensure you never know a day devoid of love
And when you no longer need me,
I will succumb to the final forces pulling me apart,
Let entropy embody me

This made me smile! I adore the sentiment here and love the little bits of fortune you noted. My favorite line was “I will leave a wave of luck in my wake,” because of how melodic it is but also because it summarizes the wonderful legacy that the speaker’s building.
Pulled into your poem by its playfulness and musicality. The imagery hooked me. The lines “I will go beyond the ends of this earth, this realm, this reality/To ensure you never know a day devoid of love” tells me how committed the speaker is to that love. Beautiful writing. Grateful for your participation in Lexpomo. Be well
