Memories of those we have lost

The shadows of the dead linger in our hearts...

They appear to the living, oblivious to our presence...

 We are cursed to relive their final moments in our minds...

They group together in their misery...

They appear together in our times of grief...

 They strengthen us with memories...

They remind us of our mortality...

They inspire us in their greatness...

And in our hearts they find peace...
