For Tomorrow

Such fragility, such patience. We wait and wait until the shadows pull us in. In the blink of an eye, we become a memory. Forgotten by many, savoured by few. But those few cherish and levitate from our presence, collecting their tears into jars to be saved for us, building into a shrine of comfort and gratefulness. Though their shattered souls may be raw and exposed, we ripple through their currents, guiding them to be a better person tomorrow. No matter the time or distance, the clock continues to tick on, so embracing the love and warmth is all we have.

I think you have...

a good start here. I would like to see you expand on this. How do tomorrows fit? What are you talking about, when you say;
"We wait and wait until the shadows pull us in"? "Our presence" and "love and warmth is all we have". Be a little forthcoming
not quite so enigmatic. ~ Geezer.
