MEMENTO

Better to feel

(Than be)

Blood rushes thru veins

And the heart beats,

Only one-day to complete it’s duty

While eventually earth and gods shall all come crashing down

And kingdoms & civilizations fade.

And so please, I ask you only this;

That when I leave to let me take these

Few things with me;

The moon, the sun and the stars,

And the small traces of light which

Once reflected in your eyes

That I can no longer see
