“If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save
us from life”
― Pablo Neruda
_________________________________________________________
it all winds down
a year
a month
a day
an hour
it all winds down
like a tired clock
life too
once we were young an spry
and then we are not
the smooth face soon disappears
behind the wrinkles and cracks
and jowls
of age
our bodies slowly bend toward the earth
it all winds down
there is no choice
nothing saves us from death
not even life
but life
that is a different matter
we have so many choices
and life can be many things
good, bad
or indifferent
full of joy and energy
or something we tolerate
life can be lost in the living,
you know what I mean?
but life can be redeemed, my friends
life can be redeemed
when we are filled with love (divine)
warmed and powered by love
when we feel it
receive it, offer it
live it
life can be, resurrected,
and we can move from life to life
and all can become
fresh
and
new
