A Heavy Light Thought

Gravity is telling time 
line by line
my future is told
but I will rest assured
death lightens the load.

I love how you infuse so many layers of meaning into a few lines - this will keep me pondering a long time ~

OUCH, this is so true for the dead; BUT sometimes a heavier load for the living. Well written as always Maureen.

Death just creates food for worms, ants, termites, rats, mice, and things we know nothing about, all of which makes them very happy indeed, so no one lives for naught! This pandemic is one long Thanksgiving banquet for them, so no need to rush in with dessert! Aloha! Rico

Then you automatically qualify for the position of zookeeper for skunks as an entire family of skunks can not match one vulture nest! Aloha! Rico

You might rethink that thought after you visit a vulture nest! Aloha! Rico

I feel the weight of the burden in this poem Maureen. "There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread." -Mahatma Gandhi
