"LIFE TO DEATH"

(FOR ANNE 6/02)

I SIMPLY CANNOT COMPREHEND

WHY WE START FRESH

TO FILL OURSELVES

WITH WHAT WE CALL WISDOM.

WE WALK THIS EARTH

COMMUNE WITH LIFE,

DESIGN OUR DREAMS

AND USE OUR LIFETIME TRYING

TO MAKE THEM COME TRUE

MAYBE.

I SIMPLY CANNOT COMPREHEND

WHY LIFE LEAVES US

BUT THE WORLD GOES ON

AS IF WE NEVER EXISTED

TO ADMIRE A FLOWER

OR TRIED TO MAKE

THE WORLD A LITTLE BETTER

IN SMALL WAYS,

OR WAYS THAT WERE OUR BESTS.

WERE WE HERE?

WE WERE

HERE.
