Dying Alive
y Odin Roark

Cultivating
Seeding
Nurturing
Weathering
Gathering

How generous the bounty
Bruised and perfect
Life’s full basket
Hoisted upon the shoulders of experience
Carried as pain’s reward
Needing not a marketplace
Accepting fruition as recompense
Knowing wealthy are those
Who die healthy of mind

Perfectly phrased and purposefully poignant.
Sets itself firmly in the mind for future perusal.

According to the grand scheme of things, all living things must die and be replaced by their offspring, genetically better to occupy the niche provided for them. We humans have broken out of our niche and now are occupying everything. According to your poem, I hope we can all die with a clear mind. There are some that will, like Andrew Carnegie and Bill Gates, do this while they're still alive, but there are many whose names we don't know who will carry their misdeeds to their death.

An uplifting message we all should heed.
