Death is the final chapter
On this planet we know as Earth
Looking back
Did fear or worry
Make things better?
Did being weighed down by stress
Make you breathe any less
Perhaps
It’s certainly a year of major transformative growth
Chaos is all around us
Explosions leads
to destruction leads to the need
To clear the debris
Start anew
Isn’t that the definition of death
I’ve died so many times this year
Died in the aching pain
Of knowing this life time
I won’t see your again
I’ve cried incessantly
Incomprehensibly
Shocked at the anguished sobs
Tearing at my throat
Being harder on myself
Had always been the norm
Breaking the mold
Has taken hard work
Learning to be gentler
Yet the pain of loss
Is intense
Tears behind the smile
Momentary pretence
Death
There seems little comfort
Death
Such a definitive ending
Death
New beginnings
