What Can Be Better? Poem by Edwina Reizer

What can be better than a thought
that brings me peace?
A thought that can make me believe
that when I cease to be,
everything beautiful that I’ve seen
shall remain and be retained in my memory.

Surely, thoughts though intangible,
must travel along into the realms beyond this one.
Travel further than the glow of the moon
and the brilliance of the glorious sun.
So each and every thought that I have
I shall always keep.
These thoughts will give me a short respite
during my days of quiet sleep.
