Who would have ever thought 
or believed 
that death 
could 
be 
so 
beautiful? 
We hold on so 
tightly and fervently 
to our lives, 
our desires, 
our wishes and dreams – 
snuffing out their breath 
and 
piercing their side 
seems demoralizing, 
devastating, 
and destructive
to the presence of 
a beautiful life. 
Until – 
in so doing 
we truly breathe 
for the first time ever.
