Poem
We all have a legacy, which we shall all eventually leave behind Yet how shall it read, within its epitome or epitaph? As I beheld these words, their writings I could tell that they were brought forth from ones soul.... While sitting by this peaceful brooke, of serenities everflow Wrapped in the warmth of Heavens graceful tide Contemplating, what remarks I could render In reposed reply unto it all, from the depths of my heart To the hopeful sanctum of their own? Often I have turned, shunning the false perceptions of greatness Within the eyes of the world.... Always pointing away from the created, to 'The Creator' To lift this candle of truth, unto, the fountain of praise deserved Wherefore do I find these gifts of others, which I have professed! But first, I must turn unto my very own soul.... Beholding them beyond the stagnant mirrors of conception Wherein the clouds of vague, do they often reside? Kneeling atop this bank, and dipping my hands beneath the shallow waters Exhuming therefrom what treasures, which these my open palms may find.... As I ponder what breath do we take that is lasting, in this our world? And what impacts upon others, if any, will this their write leave behind? This story, the ultimate question, to the honest answer, that I shall hold! For to live only unto thyself, I have often considered, believed Is but to slowly bleed, the inevitable death, of ones very own life.... Yet to offer it unto others, while you walk, you breathe, you live Is, truly wealth beyond any measure~crossing the barriers of trident time So what do I say in response, to these words which I have read? As I turn to the purest source of truth, now standing before my eyes! Let me speak not, before this reflection of thought reflected Has been brushed by this glow of reason, these reasons that I find Searching for, within their writings, this response unto.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Legacy of Light ~
