Gone But Not Forgotten

The poet dies, but does not die
When he has left a line
Black inked up on enduring page
Or lingered on the mind.

With no thought than to see it grow,
The gardener plants a tree;
His immortality assured,
Shade for posterity.

We each must find unique approach
To prove that we were here;
No surer way than nurtured child
In whom our truths appear.

Joyce~
EXACTLY !!!!

And long may the ink-of-time
remain within our rhyme
Seeping through hearts at play
when our poetry they see
someday on display~

Exactly how I feel when I write a poem.

It is beautiful.
