Remembered

Not all of me will die
When death
Takes this vessel
Of flesh and bone

Though I burn
Ashes cast to the wind
I am reborn
In the mind

Thoughts
Of those left behind
Consuming
My soul

Drawing my essence
From the great beyond
I am remembered
In death

Pictures
Faded
Lost
Eroded by time

Books
Art
Heartfelt gifts
Left to gather dust

Feelings
Stories
Love
Passed down through time

I could live a thousand years
After death has taken this body
Though I fear
We will not last that long
