"Stories will be told"
A melancholic poem for reflecting on your life

A QUESTION
Did you reconcile
Before your death?
Did you see that place
That took your breath?
Did you love?
Did you lose your way?
Yes, some will say.
Was it all worthwhile
At the end?
Did you find all you wanted
And find it lacking?
Did you find yourself once again
Looking where you'd never been?
Perhaps.
Then again -
Did you see the Sun
Give way to night
And rage against it;
Or lose the fight?
Did you sleep
Or make yourself fit?
That's it.
Ours to choose our way,
Not the path.
Winning is in the fighting
Not in the outcome
The value of a man in war
Is found in the aftermath
Perhaps.
Did you live to share
Your life so dear?
Did you hope and hold
Precious things near?
Either way,
Stories will be told
Yes.
Or No.
