The arrival of life Something new is beginning Before my very eyes The world does not try to hide it I’ll be replaced even before I’m buried But I do not resent you I’m not jealous of what I’ll miss I’ve already lived my lifetime And that’s all anybody gets.
My body slows As gravity has it’s way with me My mind is slowing too Slowly the neural network is going dark And with everything slowing down What does time do? It races ever faster Our first day was longer than last week.
The page is turned once again As a eulogy of winter is recited While the weather outside steadily Changes the season As the sun seems to shift Towards the North Until it reaches its maximum height in the sky.
I see the leaves regain life And flowers sprout from the ground Blossoming the earth With new shades. The Vernal ground develops As I can see the dirt slowly begin to give Between my feet As the ground in which I stand Has no seasons. Its nature is unknown And already it rots at my feet It’s as though even nature Has an understanding That soon is my time to go.
