GOING HOME
Why still fear death so
Does it yet puzzle thee
For we were dead before
We ever lived
So death, my friend
Is known to us
It's no great mystery
We mostly makeΒ
No difference here
We sometimesΒ
Leave a mark
But our time alive
Is miniscule
Compared to time spent
In the dark
For who knowsΒ
Where we came from
Or how longΒ
We languished there
Floating atoms
Way off far
Expelled byΒ dying star, or
Did we have a Conscience
Were we always
Quite aware
And pleased to be untethered
Minus body
Without care, though
We may all be extinguished,
as in
Dead is dead is dead
But is that so very different
from
Sleeping in our bed
So why then fear deathΒ
My friend
When its a placeΒ
We have to go
It's not so very worrying
Tis a place that we
Already know
