Poetry: Facing life

Death must enter freely into our confused dominion.

This opens up an important opportunity for humanity.

By allowing life itself inside.

Facing life is an arduous task because life

is such an enormous responsibility,

overflowing with endless possibilities and obligations.

Life comes with numerous multiple choice,

fill in the blank, true/false and short essay questions.

Every time we answer one of them, we are facing life.

To me, it doesn't matter what the final percentage is.

Facing life is merely a matter of completing the test.

To the best of one's abilities.

Death is the penalty and it is also the reward.

Facing life involves so many people, places,

animals and other things.

Facing life is just an ever-changing quest.

    Suddenly
    the road narrows
    forcing me to confront the possibility
    I have traveled too far
