Tom Wright Poet Lyric

Death and Remembering

I've stumbled into this present moment in time,
Where tears won't come for those long passed.
For in stillness they lie, being long past knowing,
Once loved in fullness, now faint memories last.

For a sunset will descend upon each life entirely,
Cherish together time, before your finality is cast.
Expending innermost thoughts on others this day,
Love friends in the moment as were it your last.
