Mortality

The reality of mortality

------------------------------------------------------

Time makes men mortal

Proving us temporary

Short shelf lives and

Pending expiration dates

Unavoidable fates

To meet the soft wet

Earth again, recycled trash

Compost for our most

Gracious host

Ashes to ashes and

Dust to dust

Glory in our last hours

To mingle with sweet soil

And sprout robust flowers
