it has been said
we do not merely mourn
that which has been lost
but the future;
a future unrealized
like Eastwood said

“Its A Hell Of A Thing, Killing A Man.
You Take Away Everything He’s Got
And Everything He’s Ever Gonna Have.”

and make no mistake –
death’s a killer
it kills all that we love
and all we could love
for the sake of oblivion

the only thing that makes less sense
then the ending of a life
is it’s beginning.
