no respecter of time
follower of life
harsh and destructive
calm and loving
the many faces of demise
sudden and slow
mysterious and visible
shining and dull
.
death is the end of life but not the end of relationships my friend once said
indeed it's true
yet not completely true
for people live different lives
and death is
the end to some lives
and the beginning of others
death makes us more aware of intangible things
more observant of our surroundings
death makes us more keen and able to forgive and seek forgiveness
less strict about collecting debts or chasing debtors
death is an acquaintance of fear yet a guardian of love
a friend of worry yet a father of life
for what is giveth may be taken away
