Forgotten Forever

FORGOTTEN FOREVER I wrote a poem and then another poem And then another poem Poem after poem Until there were so many poems I did not know them myself And so my poetry Like most of my life and experience Unknown forever and never to be remembered by me And most likely anyone else- As all those wonderful moments of happiness in love Long forgotten As all those moments of joy in prayer Also beyond recall I am dying and I will die forever And no one will remember my life or my poetry ultimately Except perhaps God Who never promised me this at all.
