I WRITE TO THE END OF MY LIFE
I write to the end of my life
I write and write
And all that appears
Disappears
And all that appears
Remains
With praises sung to it
Down the generations
And the Earth disappears
And Humanity is something else
Somewhere else
And all I have written
And all I am
Is only a dream in the mind of God
Who forgets and remembers everything.
A true, and wonderful resume, of a poet's life. All written and contained in life's interaction thru the written word. Finally, we are ' but a dream in the mind of God, who forgets nothing', so, therefore, we Are. If you are believers or not, the concept and this poem are extraordinary and unforgettably, well written.
I don't recall a moment before I was born. It is like a fiction novel. I will not know or remember anything that occurs after my biological life functions cease. I just try to be aware, as often as I can, that this is the now I have. It is little comfort, but motivates when I experience a now of negativity. The alternative is to never even be content. That's all I ever really wanted.
