If I Should Die

If I should die tomorrow, which I might
Even with spring so new and the wind blowing
Flowers up from the earth and the great white
Clouds piled over the mountains; even knowing
That I should die and all the things we share
Be stricken from my careful grasp forever
Stars and gold sunlight warm upon the hair,
Your smile and the moon dancing in the river,
If I should die tomorrow, do not weep,
For I could never rest hearing your sorrow.
Deeper than love of life, my love is deep
For you.  And if my life should end tomorrow
Bravely I’d close my days, however few,
Knowing I left the best of them with you.

Simplicity

I’ve walked along this road
For a long time now.
I know I’ll have to turn somewhere,
Or, perhaps
Turn back
To my beginnings.
Along the way
The leaves have fallen off me,
So I walk this road
With only the bare bark
Of my own winter.
It’s the last that is left of me
And the best

To Everything There is a Season

To everything there is a season, 
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; 
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; 
a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 
A time to get, and a time to lose; 
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; 
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; 
a time of war, and a time of peace.

- Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, verses i-ii, iv, vi-viii  (Before Death, After Death, Funeral, poem, religious)
