Life and Death:
Essentially different;
Opposites;
Mutually exclusive, yet
Inseparable.
You can't have life without death, for all must die.
You can't have death without life, for,
Death of whom but he who had lived?
so…
I was enjoying life and all it has to offer; sort of.
Opportunities in abundance, good times indeed; mostly.
Looking to the future, eager to grow; usually.
Worried, though, about missing something important;
Always.
When I consider that my present pain
seems to be a culmination,
having risen gradually to its current din
I cannot help but wonder...
At how many points along the way
might help have come,
or had it even arrived already,
and I failed to avail myself of it?
