Existence Undying
What of THOSE…
from childhood to adulthood
including those determined to reverse engineer adolescence
who hope for delusional youthdom
to sustain who they are
perhaps forgetting
there comes a time
when the death
of ideals
of virtues
of dreams
pass onto their next iteration?
What of THAT…
which serves as tools and nourishment
for the rational beings
to use and abuse
to fend and consume
to eventually exhaust and cast aside?
What of IT…
that heart of all that makes possible Those and Thats
the It we sometimes call
the spirit
the soul
the Natural Law
the core essence of then
now
and tomorrow?
Are we not all ITS
needing the freedom to utilize the cyclic nature of existence
the death-to-compost
compost-recycled-insemination
insemination-to-life anew?
Is not continuance undying?
and passively back to the place from whence it came.
But if I have a spirit that lives on, may it soar to
heights unknown, and may I find all my friends soaring
there with me.
I much prefer, "dust to dust, ashes to ashes."
