The self we show to others 
   going/gone
The self we show to family and friends
   going/gone
The self we show to no one
   going/gone
Our relationships
   going/gone
Our precious memories 
   going/gone
The ocean of our hearts
   going/gone
The throbbing in our arteries
   going/gone
The rhythm in the depth of our being
   going/gone
This feeling, this body, this mind,  
   going/gone
This magic moment
   going/gone
Each step taken
   going/gone
Only the animating spirit ongoing
