Is This Goodbye?
By Lamp
~ * ~ I feel so unreal. Have I been unborn today? Now I disappear. ~ * ~"Lamp" grew out of someone else's mind, not even mine. So in a way, I don't really exist. I feel that I have certainly faded from the person's mind who originated the "Lamp" designation, so perhaps it is only right that I faded into nothingness as this senryu poem suggestions. The "real" me does not disappear. But the "real" me is perhaps not "Lamp" and "Lamp" was only a facet of my personal history, not it's entirety. Although I really loved the mind from which "Lamp" was born. And probably would again, given the chance. But for now, "Lamp" continues to fade into nothingness.
