We, who write with our heart upon our sleeve.
We, who bleed verses for everyone to see.
What do we have to fight the dust of oblivion,
to salvage the memories that carved our being?
Life is a remembrance of everything we’ve left behind —
of things we hold so dear, and those that burn and sting.
Life will be as we make it with what is left
after the winds of the world…
