To Cope with Grief
January 30, 2015
After I die, here is a plan
to aid you in managing grief
Upon reading this, place a ban
In your minds, make thoughts of me brief
Burn every word ever I wrote
Let not the future's children know
Wrap my memory in death's coat
Forgo my views to the wind's blow
For all of us emerge as aught
Humans are not timeless as stone
Timelessness by no one is bought
Dust becomes of spirit and bone
But if you must reminisce, remember the bad times only
Remember not feeling bliss, so your heart cannot be lonely

Take this advice when I die; weep not, for my memory is ephemeral if you decide it to be. Grief controls only the weak of heart.
