Passing Away

When so many of my beliefs died

Did anybody mourn their passing?

There were no condolences; no warm compassionate hug

Were they worthy of only an indifferent shrug?

 

Why then am I programmed to grieve

The decay of mortal flesh and bone?

What belief is that

Which brings me back to your graveyard stone?

 

And what will happen

When that belief too shall pass away?

Will I mourn your death

Or shrug it away?

image These are my conversations with silence. These are my encounters with beauty and wonder. These are my invocations of the highest in the human condition. These are my commentaries on living. This is the poetry in the prose of my everyday. These are the sacred offshoots of the mundane. Flashes of inspiration that occur in the here and the now… And underlying all of this is a quest for wisdom beyond the known.
