THICKER AND DARKER

DRIFTING IN FROM THE WEST

 

Thicker and darker drifting in from the west

Passing over coastal range

Layering and rolling inland

Dismal science, this human body

How much to get done?

When to do it?

What priorities?

With whom?

For what purpose?

            Not to live with the values of others –

            To determine them yourself

            What can you offer?

            Accept loving kindness on its own merit

            Avoid looking for rewards

            From even your finest acts and attitudes

Seeing finality in nothing

All continues as it changes

Your individual identity unknown

World and life go on

See the years ahead

See good long years

Love who you know and who you knew

Departed materially

Present spiritually

In the minds, beliefs, memories and imaginations

Of those who knew you best

            Relax and enjoy what remains

            A cold dash into the sea

            A huge happy smile for your children

            Let them know they are loved

            Hold your own dignity

            In high regard
