Final Wish

Head raised one last time So long to the setting sun As the day is done A dying man’s final wish The faint light fails and goes swish

That final wish... it stays a mystery, and that last line can be read in so many different ways. That makes this a great tanka.

Not only is it a tanka, but a rhyming one at that! Well done, John! And here's to many more wishes after the final one mate!
