flying away

August 26, 2001, Sunday - 15:41

memories are flashes
of a world once we knew.

laughter fading into the heat of the night.
smile at me again;
i will always remember.

what is eternity?
endlessness?

the small warm body of a sparrow
under a neverending sky
stretching over an ocean
running into the pink sunset
flying into forever
then falling, exhausted, into nothingness
farewell, sparrow, life is over now
but the sea
and the sky
and the sunset
these are forever.

these will remain.

=====

say your goodbyes.
- past the point of no return...
...the bridge is crossed, now stand and watch it burn -

- phantom of the opera

go hopeful into the future
but the sea
and the sky
and the sunset
these are forever.

memories, they will remain.
