KEEPER OF THE FLAME

KEEPER OF THE FLAME
Who will remember me when the years have passedWho will be the keeper of my flameWho will feel my energy wandering in InfinityWho will know my name.Who will see my humanityMy love and affection.Centuries wrap our souls in oblivion.Memory is our immortality.We slowly fade into the darknessOf human historyWhen all else is doneNo one left to pray for us.No one left to mourn.A wondrous singularityGone.

Dear singularity

While Neopoets are around we'll remember you, or THEY as the case may be, or does the poetry get taken away and fade like us into oblivion? Wonderful obivion, 'they'say it is a great relief dying, sighing ones last in this mad old world. I would like to think that we come back as children of others, who knows, nobody knows and so you have materialenough to spin yourself a web to carry your immortality in words forever. Love Annuccia

Someday, someone will read

Someday, someone will read your poem, Longo, and know you as well as they know themselves, as I do now. I feel your flame as I do my own. You, me, Ann, all the inner flame. ~A who stokes this inner flame that burns? O breath of life Divine? who shall wear my ashes?
