When Goodbye Is Goodbye To One More Hello

Life is so more about dying than living,

as we who live are most certain to die,

asking so many questions as to the why,

for it is death that makes life to be life,

as sun doth separate a day from a night,

even so death separates breath from life ...


We all live life knowing we are yet to die,

death itself inspiring us to live life alive,

soon to taste death in tasting life no more --

to argue reality as though it were surreal,

is to spend one's life as in time congealed,

not living life at all but living a life unreal ...


As each one has lost someone they've loved,

saying goodbyes in most final of goodbyes,

and why goodbye if there was to be a hello,

as so sadly sometimes goodbye is goodbye,

living in the face of death's lack of a hello,

wondering where they went, where they go ...


For what have I myself to fear from death,

but that it may take my children's breath,

as dying itself holds forth no fear for me --

O' but I do so wish for my children to live,

to live long and for more than an eternity,

but that which decides does not consult me ...


So, like you, I live my life in this one hope,

to live life long as my children live longer,

living lives of joy even in poverty's midst,

as far better people and so much stronger,

laying me to my rest in smiling goodbyes,

saying hello to so much brighter of skies,

of goodbye's goodbye to one more hello …
