Everyone you know will fade away
Even the names you once etched
So deliberately
Upon the steles of your memory
Will eventually erode to a state
Of illegibility.
They're fading even now.
You may find that distressing or depressing
Upon first glance
But take solace in the knowledge
That the sorrow, too, shall fade
Everything fades and becomes nothing more
Than a thin wisp snaking through the valleys
Of Remembrance
