Dead and Gone

Will you visit my grave

when I’m dead and gone?

Will you keep my memory alive

or will I be lost and forgotten?

Will my name be spoken in songs

and poems for decades to come

Or will it die with a whisper

Barely more than a crumb

Will my family come to my funeral?

Will my friends say goodbye?

Or will I die alone

Ready to take flight

Will I see my love

In the afterlife?

Or will there be nothing?

No color, no light

Will it be the end

when I’m dead and gone?

Or a new beginning

waiting to be born?
