PRISONER OF TIME 1 © 2007

I will live forever,

In the memory of those

Who choose to remember,

I will be a serene echo,

A whisper in the air.

In the memories they hold,

My being will remain,

Not as an extinguished flame,

But as a light that sparkles in their gaze.

I will be the reflection of moments,

The laughter, the tears, the dreaming,

And in the memory of those who loved me,

I will continue to live, unending.

I will live forever,

Not in the body, but in the essence,

In the soul that, even absent,

Left its mark, its presence.
