why is there such strange comfort in knowing

we go on?


you still have to make amends

and do so in the worst situations possible


but maybe there's a respite

in all this muddle of a quest


maybe it'll be good to reunite

with the loved ones you've missed


and God knows even that

would be a heaven of sorts


a pit stop on the soul's journey

to refresh and gather the fuel of strength


to go on for further meetings in all the elsewheres

that will still ultimately be here...
