Gone

Gone

 

When the day comes

and I am gone

No longer here

nor maybe anywhere ..

…

Do think of me won’t you

and near you too

Not just vaguely remembered

since that is where

I will almost surely be ..

This sounds like a poem written by a well-connected person (i.e. a "normal" person). Most want to be remembered, but some wouldn't mind being forgotten. I'm jaded by so many people who never take the time to remember the living & present, so why beg for remembrance after croaking? It's a futile concept, in my distorted opinion. I'm so jaded today, I better shut up & do something else! (((BUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I thought of you just yesterday sir ..not vaguely at all ... a neighbor had brought over a variety of fancy smansy beers (he knows I only drink ghetto beer ... $.60 a can) I pulled out an IP Stout of some exotic name ... 6.9% alcohol it said :) I raised it to you brother ... I knew you were somewhere ;)

I commented on this poem before and then deleted what I left. I don't know why, I just did. Anyway, I think it is quite melancholic contemplating your own demise. It is even more melancholic thinking that you won't be remembered.You have left your mark sir on many and I assure you, you will be remembered. I hope this comment leaves you a glimmer of light if you are in a black tunnel.

Well the poem I added has gone too. Can't find it anywhere. Disappeared into the ether. I remember the sentiment though, if not the words :)

Beautifully penned sir, with just a hint of nonchalance. As if the poet is aware of the inevitability of being forgotten and yet is reconciled with it fully within. Life and love are always passing...
