Elucidating Questions

It’s not fair that you’re ashes now

I don’t want ashes

I want a living, breathing, alive, sister

It’s not fair that all you were has been reduced to dust

Carbon remnants of alive

I want to be mad at you

But you’re not here to be mad at

And I can’t just hold onto it until I see you next and let it go because I love you because

I’ll never see you again

You’re gone

Somewhere

Somewhere where you’re fine

Then where are we?

Does Death choose us or do we choose him?

Does he know the end of each person signed on a scroll of life?

Or is he summoned by death

Does he merely deliver

Ferryman

Is he the one who picks up these souls beaten down by life and renews them?

Maybe

Truly it would seem the gods are just as trapped by life as we are

Just as inconsequential

Great Observer

I won’t let this feeling

Incompleteness

Like one of my hearts is gone

I won’t let it consume me

I miss you

But I’m not talking to you right now
