The Legacy of Light ~
We all have a legacy, which we shall all eventually leave behind
Yet how shall it read, within its epitome or epitaph?
As I beheld these words, their writings
I could tell that they were brought forth from ones soul....
While sitting by this peaceful brooke, of serenities everflow
Wrapped in the warmth of Heavens graceful tide
Contemplating, what remarks I could render
In reposed reply unto it all, from the depths of my heart
To the hopeful sanctum of their own?
Often I have turned, shunning the false perceptions of greatness
Within the eyes of the world....
Always pointing away from the created, to 'The Creator'
To lift this candle of truth, unto, the fountain of praise deserved
Wherefore do I find these gifts of others, which I have professed!
But first, I must turn unto my very own soul....
Beholding them beyond the stagnant mirrors of conception
Wherein the clouds of vague, do they often reside?
Kneeling atop this bank, and dipping my hands beneath the shallow waters
Exhuming therefrom what treasures, which these my open palms may find....
As I ponder what breath do we take that is lasting, in this our world?
And what impacts upon others, if any, will this their write leave behind?
This story, the ultimate question, to the honest answer, that I shall hold!
For to live only unto thyself, I have often considered, believed
Is but to slowly bleed, the inevitable death, of ones very own life....
Yet to offer it unto others, while you walk, you breathe, you live
Is, truly wealth beyond any measure~crossing the barriers of trident time
So what do I say in response, to these words which I have read?
As I turn to the purest source of truth, now standing before my eyes!
Let me speak not, before this reflection of thought reflected
Has been brushed by this glow of reason, these reasons that I find
Searching for, within their writings, this response unto....
