Remember your Creator <br /> in the days of your youth, <br /> before the days of trouble come <br /> and the years approach when you will say, <br /> \&quot;I find no pleasure in them\&quot;- \&quot;

If silence is loud
then my heartbeat is louder

A sunny day caught in a giant storm
Tears turn to waterfalls

The lights are on in all of us
but nobody is home

If the sudden news could kill
then view me as a corpse

One small ripple of light
breaks through the lingering darkness

It's never goodbye, but a see you later

I was inspired to write this poem after a much loved teacher passed away. He will be dearly missed. As I've heard before, it's not goodbye only a see you later.
