Part 2

Standing in the crowd no one remembers when
I shined my brightest back then
Now pity and worry I see
In the eyes looking at me
Life clicks by and time does take
Penance for Time's sake
Now a shell of my greatest bloom I sit
Nothing to a world that pushed me out of it

It Dies

In our prime we shine and glow
Life clicks by we change slow
A flower shows us but we hardly see
Look at how human a flower can be
Young it is vibrant full of shine
In time you see its decline
Withered body but still beauty inside
Like the elderly shuffling by

"Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums—
Counts his nectars—
Enters—and is lost in Balms."
Emily Dickinson (1861)

As the song began,
he remembered their last dance—
and reached for her hand.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Dylan Thomas

Remember the Living

Familia, amigos
Todos en su vida
Everyone in your life
Están contigo
With you every single day
Heart, mind, thoughts
In body and spirit
Joys and pains
Until they’re not
En ese momento
You remember what
You should have said
…Then
