I listened to a song, It was beautiful. It reminded me of you. Your smile. The simplicity of your life. And your death. You fell asleep and did not wake. A beautiful end for a beautiful man. I wonder if, somehow, your essence lives on. In a man, a woman, a child, an animal. If so, I wonder if I see you, I shall recognise you? I think I would. What if our understanding of time is wrong, That it is not chronological And that we only discover this after we “die”. If so, I look forward to meeting you again For we had too little “time” together Whatever that means.
