Acceptance Stage

 

Almost

coming to grips

with

all this.

This malady.

This temporary

insanity.

Suffer so much

and then,

remember a friend

fading away

silently.

Take in the life

of a world

and realize

that we only eat

dead things.

Decompose a thing

in order to refine.

Embrace the collapse.

Envelop the entropy.

It’s in all of us.

Our decaying star.

Half life of

a billion years.

A little energy

to pray

for another

twenty or so,

maybe more.

The cycle will return,

but we won’t know it.

Built different,

but still the same.

One thing

we all get wrong

is

thinking

we are different

than any other part

of this

crazy world.

We are not immune.

We are

one of the pathogens.
