Who shall remember me?

Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance. John Keats

How will my tomorrow look,

will it be like today,

or as the day of yesterday

 

will time stay or stop

or just go somewhat slower,

shall I be able to do

what I have postponed till now,

 

when will be my last day,

my last morning,

how will I disappear here

 

or will I leave some tracks,

sowing words and sentences

which will grow after me,

 

who shall remember me,

for who I really was

or tried to be,

 

who will I be when I’m gone.

[Willard Wells]

Very deep philosophical thoughts and in the end it will not matter. Life is for the living. I am more at peace in life as I write and know if anyone has desire to know me when I am gone, that my words and thoughts which speak of me have been written down. Well done and I like it.

Thank you, Willard. Have a good weekend. :) Rudi

[Vishuddha]

A very thoughtful and beautiful piece. Questions without answers. I don't even know who I am now! A pleasure!

Great questionings here.
Sometimes the same questions I ask to myself but you know we have to answer them by our own for seeking some inspiration because real inspiration comes from within us.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you will be remembered as a poet for sure...your words you will leave behind, and those will etch in others' memories.

you will be a voice that made its mark.
