when we die <br />when our blood dies <br />our spirit dies <br />our bones die <br />our mind dies <br />i hope... <br />our words will live on <br />...on and on <br />for aeons <br /> <br />when our heart dies <br />when our thoughts die <br />our skin dies <br />our hair shrivels <br />our nails wither <br />our kidneys and lungs <br />our brain and liver <br />even when they die <br />i hope... <br />our words will live on <br />...on and on <br />for aeons <br /> <br />whenever or <br />-wherever <br />i may choose to go <br />whoever or <br />-whatever <br />i do not know <br />if everything around me disappears <br />if the world dwells engulfed in needless fear <br />i just hope our words <br />will live long <br />...on and on <br />for aeons<br /><br />Allen Steble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-words-live-on-for-aeons/
