What if?
It's time
For Death
To have a name change?
For us to
Acknowledge
To accept
What it really is?
Versus continueing
to feed the stories
the nightmares
Of how the end of the body
Is the end of it all.
What if we
Altered our perception
Instead trying to control it all
Because we are so afraid of losing
What we love.
What if
Istead we acknowledge
Everything returns
To where it came from
The water to the ocean
No matter where it falls
Carbon returns to the earth
To create something new
And molecules freed
From once rigid forms
Set free to travel
And the outworn space suit
Now ugraded
To an invisible cloak
That allows
The once confined traveller
To now go anywhere
Beyond this world
Of form
Of senses
Of emotions
Of gravity
To be anywhere
Everywhere
Playing
Dancing
Free
Isn't a graduation
From earth
Something to celebrate?
Instead of mourning
Something to appreciate
Instead of grieving?
What if we stopped
Holding so tightly
To the old story
Of death
And instead said
Thank you
D(ear) EA(r)TH
For the gift of this life
In me
In front of me
And truely
Truely lived in gratitude
Even when it moves on
Travelling elsewhere
Love lives on
No matter the form.
