What is left behind is taken away by time
Only as a memory they settle down deep
They may fade, or remain there for a lifetime
In an unborn reality, they can seep
Struggles of mankind with a burdensome reality
Faintly forgotten due to life’s feebleness
Again, a consciousness awakens after brief mortality
Somewhere life is tricked by a deviousness
Encumbrance of time is a constant reminder
Jolts from the past will torment every mind
Only if passages could have been kinder
Denying the truth is reality of a life disinclined
