Memory or Death
Reminiscence is another way
To live one’s life
To the full
To its best
Least painfully.
And loneliness is the way
To safely store in memory
What the clamour of things
Sweeps towards oblivion.
You have to let go one side
To hang on to the other.
From what is reborn from day to day
We fashion a new life
And time drifts by and dreams drift by
We journey only in ourselves.
A warning:
Let not sorrows distract you.
Let not emptiness dazzle you.
It is always by some oversight
That we lose life.
