time stands still

Sunday, June 19, 2005

a departure
separation by life and death

a short farewell ritual
with blessings of a smooth journey
to the other world

people come and go
familiar strangers and
unfamiliar relatives
pay their respects

bid the last goodbye
gates closed
the cold body sent to a fiery end

life, filled with fleeting illusions
yet we all struggle to stay alive

time moves so fast
while the struggle seems long

but at that point of departure
time seems to stand still
it seems eternity
as all stop still to mourn
