Loss For Life

Loss is harder than hard A friend says that her mother’s funeral was hard I lost three in less than three days-my job, one of my friends and my child My loss was harder than hard My spiritual guides said that do not take this too hard but another loss is one the way Damn-how much losses can a man stand to lose This is the time of loss with the passing of the full moon in cancer and the Summer Solstice Souls are loss for ascension This is the time of loss with the Devil’s Triangle laughing at us as it rises in the east and sets in the west like death Loss is harder than hard But life is much harder to live I had dreams about my own end Like every birthday frightens me because It’s like death-say goodbye to last year and hello to the New Year But I am inching closer to death each year On a picturesque hill top I look to the heavens because I am closer to life The blue sky is like the 7th charka High above the green earth I met a man who says do you want to hear a ghost story He says that the bench you are resting on was the resting place For a man named Joe who committed suicide His two dogs do not care and use the bench to shadow the heat To the stranger I said what a more beautiful place to depart this life
