Until The Last Moment
Collecting memories
Of what once was, and what is present.
Walking down a lane of images,
I stand ready to embrace
The future.
Surprised,
At what slipped; lost.
Taking in what is left.
I ready to accept
My past failures.
Turning slowly,
Without fear,
I become aware
Of the sky I ignored,
Of the water I didn't drink.
Of the people I didn't mourn.
Things slip, and life ends.
I depart now, without fear,
In hopes that you will
See what I failed to see,
Feel what I failed to touch,
And love who I failed to seek.
Love, Learn, and Live,
Until your last moments arrive.
In your departure, smile,
See your footprints,
And let new ones form
On our soil.
- Alejandro Bonfil
This is OK, a bit cliched
This is OK, a bit cliched though
The poem is not cliched at
The poem is not cliched at all once you listen to the song at the same time as you read it. There is a big difference.
I liked the poem, but once I read it with the song, I absolutely loved it!! I'll be spending my day continuing to learn this song on piano hahaha :)
