"So I am glad to share the earth with you"


Poem Artwork

Like Living Until

How I will die and if it will mean much
That I once lived or at least what once seemed
Like living until the curtain was torn
Need not apply since life has still been such
A lot more than I had hoped or had dreamed

If only the hopes of a martyr born
To live the nightmares about which they warn
Of genius as of insanity too
A couple of shady characters those
With both of them no telling what to do
The thorn as remarkable as the rose
And in the event the two are the same
The heavens part with only God to blame
For a dance with fate which neither one chose

But now the heavens want to part with me
And veil the veil withdrawn again in shame
So I am glad to share the earth with you
A lot more than I had hoped or had dreamed
Like living until the curtain was torn
