Into the Fading Light

We live,
we die,
and death does not
end it.
We used to believe
in the past.
We still receive memories
in many ways.
More journeys into
the night.
One more hour
to perfect our lives.
Should we live in
the light
of certainty and reason?
Let's create
the symbols of life.
Are you more real
than I am?
I'll burn you
and set you free.
Wept bitter tears.
Excessive courtesy.
I'm getting out of here,
I won't forget.
