Departures the Movie

movie about 
Preparing the dead
Was moving
In so many ways


It celebrates life
And the beauty contained
As a heart wrending
Story relays

My favorite scene
Is the one
Where they feast
After closing up shop for the day


As one of the
Leading men
Gorges himself
 He looks at his partner to say

I hate myself !


The embracing of
Life so voraciously
After dealing with death
And it's sting


Fills the viewer
With hope
As for answers they grope
As to if their own lives mean a thing

Though it's written
That we 
On the scales 
Are mere dust

This observation
I've 
Come to trust

He sees me!
