DEATH, MY FRIEND

death changes us all,
when you feel it
walking beside you,
sitting just behind you, always.
you can turn your head all that you want to,
you won't catch more than a glimpse

or when you have let him,
take you all the way,
you know something
inside of you has changed;

the understanding
of all this beauty that surrounds you
lets you breath deeper.
feel the connection
between all that is and has been
and inside us all
it just waits to be awakened,

and sometimes it waits
until the moment,
right before you die
and in the very end
when it all begins
you remember everything
