And when all is said and done

Is there anything to show?

Is there a legacy to leave?

All the things we did

The thoughts we thought

The emotions felt

Bitter lessons learned

Moments of sheer joy

Curiosity, animosity

Thoughts, word and deeds

Stretched across the canvas of life

Our legacy is personal

Its value weighing heavy

Between a feather and a heart

Moments spill in color

Life seen like film

All is magnified

Humanity dignified

In Death

The final breath

Echoes our sound

Around creation

Signifying nothing

And yet everything

Slips away

To play another day
