infinitas

I wrote this short poem many years ago in an attempt to signify the simplicity and insignificance of passing, and the frailty of memory – imagining how we are but a tiny spark among an infinitesimal number of similar yet unique sparks in the darkness we call our universe.

infinitas belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical

when you know you face your final day
when your sanity has all but strayed
and life has no more tricks to play

will we remember?
(will you remember?)

... and when healthy flesh has fled from grey
when we see Truth in a different way
and the ebon vultures flock to præy

will they remember?
(will you remember?)

because Nothing is Forever.
because Forever is Everything.

    You are a talented writer of great depth and sensitivities.
    This was very emotive and reflective.
