Legacy

a time
that was
has met
its end

what held
seemed firm
and forever
the center
about which
all turned
in its
time

not to
be lost
in sadness
nor forgotten
in legacy
but enduring
in memory
with all
who remain
among those
who assume
what is
theirs in
their time

until all
yields to
the transient
moment we
know as
our own
