REFLECTIONS © 2011
Knowing that our story
Will be that of a sad and real book,
Where the words weigh like memory,
And the chapters unfold without end,
Makes me a child,
Who, in innocence, forgets everything,
Lives in the now, without the recollection
Of what the inevitable future weaves.
Without truly seeing it,
I carry the burden of one who understands,
That life, though brief and already undone,
Is a story that, in silence, extends.
And so I am, lost in daydream,
The child who pretends, yet carries the whole plot.
