Mostly, I would like to be remembered As someone who was passionate for life. The days of unsought ecstasies are numbered, However long we linger in the light. I was one who cultivated wonder, Less of one contented to explain, Delighted by the promises of hunger, Enduring for their joy the years of pain. Gifts I had aplenty: Some I savored, Others sacrificed for others' needs. Remember me as someone who was favored, Despite constraints, to tumble in the leads, Ocean to what winds I could not be, Nightrider through what worlds I could not see.
