You are dying
Old friend
Albeit in a subtle way

You say
That neither heart or loins
Seems to care much less respond
As you watch them pass on by

There is a wisdom
We do not understand
That urges us toward its goal

Until at last
If not with willing consciousness
There is the letting go

You are going somewhere with this...I just don't know where. :-)

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.

"old friend"
while life renews.

There is a defined art
to saying goodbye
without words.

It becomes a father's daughter
holding his hand;
a mother's wink
before she closes her eyes;

a brother's last laugh
before one last gasp.

Legacies born, in hope to be held
when in the passing, lifelines meld
and we become in an instant
a moment ago

yes, this is life,
definitively so.
