Oasis of an Inkling
It seems as each month passes,
even with its countable blessings
there are more dark anniversaries
While I remember your birthday
yesterday, it is just an occasion
to remember that you are not here
to witness and partake in the newest
life that adds to your, our family tree...
so I recall - you are not here...
and that yesterday brought more less
enchanting news - the reviews of
test results, seeking more tests
which may result in another loss
however that undetermined blob or
blot decides to progress in an elder.
The mail also delivered the overdressed
proclamation of giving birth and death dates
of a great aunt who...passed.
Though not coherent in later years -
almost reached the century mark.
So I ask, when do we really die?
Is it when spiritual essence ascends -
if that is what one would like to believe,
or is it more of a slow progression...
The bits of scab and dead skin that
flitters off as we toss and turn
while traveling through dreams?
