of the many who wish so hard

to die and leave the confusion of the World


there are those who fear death

both for the guilt of what they perceive


as imminent punishment for a wasted life

and the plain fear of the actual trauma


of actually passing over

the physical body ceasing and withdrawing


back into the elements

from which they were drawn


what to say to these in their mortal pain

that they can take?


compassion makes us wrack our brains

but let what soothing do what it can


we are all in this eternal mystery

and we go as we will
