Corporeal shadows in my Brain
phantoms that are my memories
You must be careful
for this moment

the Here -

the Now -

.....gone
And had changed and become
Memory.

Pay attention, be active
for all you life and you times
will become memory too.

Soon, so will you.

"From dust you were created
and to dust you shall return."
So your face and all you physical being
shall shift and blend
and become one with
the Sands of Time.

To where does the soul
go?
Born again to another
vessel of dust moistened
by blood?

Many have answers, but
do any really know the Truth?
Only the Dead know the Truth and
Lazarus has never dropped by for tea
to chat about what lies Beyond.

The only certainty is
what YOU can do.

Imprint yourself, your soul
Harden the sandy Memory you have become
into granite.

A Monument in the minds
of the Divine Mud Balls
who still breathe and move.
