"Death, You used to hang around my left shoulder, I could catch a glimpse of you if my glance was furtive enough between sigh-full, moments of living

A few years ago You walked up beside me and said, "let's go a ways together, shall we"

and now, we're more honest with each other and no longer debate about that grain of sand or

the Expanse of the Universe,

we're more like brothers discussing adventures in that far off land

and the Party that Dad promised when we Return Home"

Yes, death comes to us all, and we approach with hesitation or surrender. Unless it taps us on the shoulder in surprise. I wonder how, who and where and then let it go. Life is too valuable to spend it un-present, unaware or without as much joy as is available. What is past is gone. The memories and heartfelt moments are building both a cage and a palace to reside within. Keep the windows open !
