"There is no death, daughter. People die only when we forget them". (Isabel Allende)
Poetry or prose
Legends.
There is no death; so my father said,
So I do not weep when I see them on their beds,
Their bodies aching, longing for Death,
And when they give their final breath...
I hold them in my heart for as long as I can,
For they cannot be forgotten for as long as I am,
Living, breathing, whatever keeps me existing,
"People die only when we forget them,"
Believe it, and stop resisting.
