Elegy Poem by Laurence Overmire

Elegy

Rating: 5.0


The moment immortal
Is revisited again and again
A life that refuses to be beaten

A death that will not be forgotten
Stepping into myth
Time itself is conquered

Dream defies reality
What moment is this
We choose, to give or take

Make sacred and lasting
Or -drop- like feather dust
In a paucity of air.
