\"Fear<\/a>I have awe ways been a fan of epic themes of life and death, heaven and hell unearth. \u00a0This poem is yet another meditation on the reality that most of us most of the time simply do what is most urgent, not what is most important. \u00a0What is urgent is often not really that important in the long haul, and what is really important often doesn’t present itself in the clothes of urgency. \u00a0This poem employs that apocryphal moment at our death where we are delivered in a flash our whole life. \u00a0The much denied inevitability of the end of our life on earth is rife with potential epiphanies adept at properly ordering our seemingly shorted lives. \u00a0\"The<\/a>When the grim reaper harvests us, will our death reflect a life well urned? \u00a0Will our\u00a0life be better characterized as meticulously saved or gloriously well spent? \u00a0This poem plays with the daring metaphysical math than one good death may be infinitely more valuable than innumerable small deaths threw out life. \u00a0This poem confronts the moribund multiplication of lives either simply buying bread and just getting by or vainly seeking to multiply a life irreproducibly created. \u00a0Buy what calculation can we justly trade the\u00a0breathtaking awesomeness of life for a little, less, death? \u00a0\"The<\/a>In the end, facing death alone and a loan in life, whatever may truly matter is inseparably bound to whatever we’ve for giving awe that is unbroken. \u00a0May you live a wholly life. \u00a0Even sow, if you cannot find such a weigh, and it be hooves you, may death be dammed, just the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
