What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
Once the dust settles
And you’re left standing alone
Who will you call to?
To your friend? They’re gone
Your mother? long ago
Your father’s spirit guides you still
and yet gratitude eludes you
thankful could you have been several decades ago
for the decades that had already been gifted you
and yet here you stand still
letting the dust of the fallen fill your lungs so used
and before your own final cough
will you have finally found the reason
that you ended up here
in the first place
