THEN IT OCCURRED

 

Then it occurred

Sailed across stolen moonlight

Not mine, but I ride it

Toward a better view

Perhaps an overlook

Or a deeper look

At reality as we pass

Our souls everlasting

Bodies breaking

Hearts aching, then it swells

You feel love and its passing

One lifts you high

The other an abyss

Both inseparable

From our shared condition

            Leaving each with a burden

            Else, what is life?

            It is a process of organic chemistry

            Ending uniformly

            Birth, growth, stasis for a moment

            On to decline and cessation

            We watch, we feel

            But we don’t want it

            We push it off

            Ignore it as much as possible

            A lifetime of optimistic denial

I feel youth, middle and old

All at the same time

Deny all the world

For that sunshine

Accept it when it comes
