How it always ends…

An original

your question:

“how does it all end?
your life,
or rather,
death?”

we are led to believe
it’s a mystery:
“none shall know the hour
nor the day...”

but note, 
that
isn’t your question, 
dear one. 

and it’s no mystery,
at all. 

we end in just the same way
as all those who’ve gone before us.
all those. 

no matter their title, or status,
or religion, or accomplishments, or influence,
(self-perceived or otherwise)
or lack of all of the above. 

this is why there is no 
mystery
(we just refuse to understand): 

we end as we have lived.

we 
end
as
we
have
lived.

when that time comes,
and it will come,
(inevitable defined),
there will be no grand proclamation
that you will die in a manner different
from who you have been.
then, it will be too late
to change anything.
you will die in
the very ordinary
of your
extraordinary
(for i’ve always found you
extraordinary).

you will die,
(we die),
in just the same way 
as all those who’ve gone before.
all those. 

and so my prayer for you, 
dear one?

may your end,
your death,
be magnificent,
be large,
be vibrant,
be authentic,
be honest,
be abundant,
be peaceful,
be love,

be beautiful. 


start now.
