River of Time

What's inside each of us?
Does anybody know?
Do you know the secrets
That I've always hid inside?
In my death
Will my soul be released?
My secrets shared
Set free from my body
Set free from my mind
Will you be able to see
My life story sketched on my face?
What words will be told
On my tombstone
For everyone to see?
Will they represent
The true me?
What beauty will happen
In the place that I'm buried?
Will nature try to run wild
Like my spirit?
And will it forever be tamed
By those that pass me by?
In my death
Will my words be heard?
My poems read?
My habits kept by others?
Or like many good things
Many magical and beautiful things
Will my memories be forgotten
In the ever-flowing river of time?
