The Funeral of Life

Can you hear it?

The thunderous blast followed by endless cries and weeping

Can you smell it?

The stench of fear, rotting carcasses and death

Can you feel it?

The gravity of regret weighted down by hatred, jealousy, selfishness, mindless desire for power and missed opportunities

The earth quakes in her every corner

Can you see it?

The separation of life heralded by wisdom from lifelessness championed by folly

…as the thorns are purged from the rose and the wheat from the chaff

As the time draws near, choices dim and invitations are so very few

…I Accept

Calvin & Hobbes
Para ut mundus mutationes
