In Memories Of Those Who Died

Folder: 
Sadness Story

In memory of those who died

We weep and walk away.

Tears run into swollen streams.

No trace of us remains.

Even those who grieve are gone,

And those that grieve who grieve,

And those whose lives are ravaged by

A frantic urge to be,



And those who wander silently

Among the empty rooms:

Immortality is theirs,

Though they must vanish, too.



We bear astonished witness to

The passage of the soul.

No bridge exists that can connect

Our passion to the whole.
