In Memory Of

In Memory Of

In memory of eighteen we yearn to be born again,
to become the essence of living memory
and carry a renewed message
across time undaunted.

To accomplish the full agenda of life
and use the illusion of youth to spur one on,
in a quest for the last bastians
of passion and desire before the final curtain is drawn.

We then realize the sum of life is in the living
for youth is but an illusion and reflection,
observed differently in a mirrored pool by each admirer
.... gazing into its depths.
