In Seventy Years

Posted on by 
In seventy years, 
only two really bad deaths 
	happened to him. 
They only took from a minute 
		to an hour 
or just about 3,600 seconds 
			total to happen, 
but the amount of time given to
 
reflect, ruminate, tolerate, endure and persevere 
 
seems like infinity 
		(on and on and on and on) 
when those bad deaths 
happen to loved ones, 
which they did. 
 
The good news is that love wins 
eternally, which it does,
then and in the future --
ever right now.

  1. Profound and honest … profound in the reach of the heart on this one … and honest about the pain … since I’m reading Tillich, I’ll say, “Powerfully Tillichian … the correlation between the experience of death and the essence of life … the imagery of seconds caught my attention … didn’t take long, but everything lingers … thanks.
