Rendering

there are ways

around anything

and everything

all things

but death

there’s no way

around that

and though your belief

may lift you up

into eternal light

thereafter

you will no longer

be here

with your laughter and tears

and I don’t care who you are

or who you think you are

or what you believe

or don’t believe

healthy or not

there is a great sadness

to leaving

and knowing you’ll never

come back

to this very place

in time

to this world

you are born

the impossibility of knowing it

fully

in but one lifetime

as it were
