Oh, how memories fade, as we fight against the weathering of time.
Will the ancient cities, and vibrant horizons of millennia passed, still yet be engraved in the minds of those who proceed us?
With all our might we try to best ourselves and conquer new heights
Will it all be for nought?
Will any of it be remembered?
An echo into infinite expanses
Breathless in the face of your great chronological finale
Standing at the end of time
Will you, my friend, be remembered?
It is folly to wish to be amongst the stars, forever an omnipotent eye, ensuring that your heart be not lost to oblivion
Can I not beg the hourglass to cease it’s unrelenting sands?
Or will my voice, like a crashing wave, ripple into an endless sea of deafening silence
Will you choke on the cosmic dust, and fade into oblivion?
Or like the rays of the sun, spread your comforting warmth, and spring forth new life, into all who feel your gentle embrace?
Fear not my brother, you remain in my heart
I wish I could peel back the pages of your mind, and uncover the demons that lay beneath
So that we, together, could conquer them, and one day stand atop our monuments, as victorious!
But your battle was long
All soldiers must one day be laid to rest
Perhaps, we are looking at it all wrong
Yes, of course
Maybe it matters not in the futile end, if we are eternal
Is it so bad to die when your memory is engraved into every smile, touched by your warmth?
Even stars, must one day fade into the dark
But let us rejoice in their end; for a supernova is unforgettable
It’s majesty would bring tears to the eyes of any man
...and like the last breath of a dying star
Your beauty, your warmth… will forever be remembered
