The final wake

Contributed by boomking on Wednesday, 16th July 2014 @ 04:16:44 PM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems

During life-time, we spent many waking moments.
Some-times alone, some-times together.
Gathering those moments, that define us.

But someday, it is clear, we are not here to stay.
But we are much more like visitors.
We get to spent some-time here on earth.
Just to find out, what we are made of.

Soul incarnated, flesh jubilated.
Driven by the force,
that steers us towards our destiny,
willingly or otherwise.

And it may come to our surprise,
that life turns out to be a recollection.
Of all those defining moments,
at least in the end.

And that will be remembered,
during the final wake.
As we sit and recollect those moments,
that we showed our true colors.

For those are the moments,
we defined ourselves.
And what we made of life,
As we will be remembered for.

Apart from the appearances,
that we put up in front of ourselves.
Cuz those are just like shells,
we tend to hide behind.

We will be remembered,
for our essence.
That never ceases,
to emanate from us.

And that's the one thing that will truly stay.
As we go on our way.

this is a beautifully penned tribute,
these lines are exceptional:

We will be remembered,
for our essence.
That never ceases,
to emanate from us.
