There is a mystery in living When, how, for how long and why No need to use complicated rhetorical arguments The devil's advocate I can play indeed But the end is always the same Its almost as if our lifespans are a timed game.
We can hop from land to land For reasons only we can understand We can lament and weep Until at the end we finally sleep
To sleep perchance to dream As a great poet once wrote In lifespans, life's cycles, in moments of oblivion I even forgot all that I wrote The great mystery was not action or living The great question was extinction and annihilation.
To come back to the essential I, Me and Myself My small insignificant life Could I even presume to be remembered After the third generation, the fourth maybe? And what was it's essentiality? Wicks flame, flicker and glow That is finally the way I will go.

Great thoughts. Life is indeed a mystery. In it some do great deeds and leave their impression in history. I liked this poem.

as onto day we rave up from land to land
in our own space and time with little pains and pleasures yet hand in hand
in the midst of eternal stream as when blessed onto the finale
and tomorrow we may be there and some among us may no be
by the yesterday`s evening everthing beciomes the history................
as the generation a head in a fine morning we may be remebered
still we move on by the mystery of living, , , , , , , , , , , , , until annihilation................well penned,10/10, thanks for sharing

Could I even presume to be remembered
After the third generation, the fourth maybe?
And what was it's essentiality?
Wicks flame, flicker and glow
That is finally the way I will go.

You will be a particle with a stream consciousness into the planck time. Memory is no longer an issue.

life is like the one you mentioned, it flickers and glows and ultimately puts off...the span is bounded by living, understanding and dreaming...well expressed.
