By Michael Thomas Ellis
A few may open their laptops
do a Google search
or scroll through their Facebook feeds
and with a little luck
stumble across these words
possibly a few more
and if I’m even luckier
although luck will be less than a shadow by then
their eyes will get misty
their thoughts a little melancholy
and for that fleeting moment
I will be remembered
maybe even missed
before the jarring distraction
of the next notification
lays me back to rest again.

Excellent work! I just searched for Mr. Ellis and the first hit was an obituary. Was this poem submitted from the Beyond?
