The Inevitable
it saddens the heart
when loved ones depart
though knowingly its our destiny
it still pains our humanity
this feeling doesn't discriminate
and the inevitable is never late
for truly each breath we breathe
brings us closer to our mortality
teaching us to be content with the decree
our frailties have caused negligence
yet Hu continues to give us a chance
to witness there is no difference
in the dancer from the dance
note: Hu is an utterance of The One True Reality (God)in the Arabic language.
