I Will Live As Long As The Sun Poem by Stephen Martin II

I Will Live As Long As The Sun

Rating: 5.0


In the basement
back by the sliding door
there is a cabinet full of notebooks
don't waste time on a funeral
say a prayer if it helps you
and read my notebooks if you wish to honor me
you are all in there, believe me
when I am in the ground
don't stand and sob at my stone
read my words aloud
read them because I didn't have the courage to
don't speak of my sad fate
you will have me forever
I am in those books
I will live as long as the sun
If you so choose

Yes, breath is finite and of fleeting importance, but words are mystical and last forever, leave your soul to many people.
