A Touch of Heart

Still Alive

In a single life cycle,

there is little time to thrive.

After death we move on to our next adventure

but our memories remain alive

in the people of our past. 

Life is for what we strive,

though we may not recall that

our memories are kept alive

even after our death occurs,

for the hundredth time. We survive.

And not in the sense that we remain conscious forever,

but in the fact that our memories are still alive.

We are corporeal beings resting in homes of flesh, waiting;

To be free again, but having to drive

our current hosts through the adventure, until it is time 

to move on. But keeping the memories alive.

So when our worlds are all but gone

and our vessels wither and die,

we are expected to speak of others' journeys

to ensure that they're still alive.
