[Poem] - Passed

Yeah, sure you can be remembered in a "micro scale" I would say. But keep in mind that everything ends with these people death. It's exactly like with your children. You "live" in their hearts and memories only as long as they live. Being remembered through art e.g. poetry or any kind of work is like gaining immortality here on this Earth. Your legacy will be passed through generations. Everything else is eventually at some point just temporary. That's my view at passing and the only way we can somehow actually fight it.

Yes, I understand. I guess I was thinking in the micro scale when I offered my previous reply. Immortality through art would be one way to transcend that limitation...thanks for your thoughtful comments, @james.anthony!
