Death...
Death has come and kissed us all from the flash of birth,
from the starry dust we are, then back into the earth,
Life’s a dance, a playful thing, and this we did forget,
carried away into the game, no need for this regret,
Gratitude for everyone and everything that is,
for without it all we would not fall, a lonely little fizz,
Cycles of the life we see reflected in our breath,
surrendered to eternal love, beyond the brink of death.
