Here Today, Gone Tomorrow - Ravi's poem

The sun rises everyday
you might think.
But not for your tomorrow.

I have walked past these streets
where the trees
older than my father,
are still here,
and will be, long after I'm gone.

I only have my memories,
my child.
No footprints.
No legacy.
Nothing your grandchildren will remember.

But the universe has spoken to me.
Through it's eyes, looked at itself
and said
I am here
and you are me
For now
or forever.

Ravi.
