Let’s have a funeral
Not for people who have passed on
Not for things come and gone
But for all the ties you once had
Of pleasure, of pain, of times good or bad.
Let them lie, for their time has come.
Let go of all those ties that draw life
Forgive the energy
With which you fuel the strife.
Move on breathe be free be still
Though sad you may now feel.
Life exists to live to journey till the end
You yourself must heal and mend
Though lonely you may be
Sit in stillness ponder care
In time you will be free.
-a poem of acceptance.
