Remembrance, Composed 3/30/10


Remembrance is a feat which will soon fade;
To nothingness and Black as power shrinks
No glorious feat of man, can Time dissuade;
Its claws do drag to nothingness and sink,
And dark nothing is such an empty Hell.
No human mind can comprehend so well,
When soul and mind the body do depart,
As mortal man is taken to his knee
They race off to dimensions with no chart;
Blithe wisps of life and light they fast do flee.
And though the mem'ry withers with the flesh,
It slows, as in the text, genius they see!
They bind these words unto their hearts own mesh,
And this is how they shall remember me.
