Have You Been Your Own Messiah?

*

Do you ever Wonder

If I were to die Now

would I die stupid?

or

has my life been full

of giving a hand

listening to broken

hearts, the keening

of Geese, interspersed

with picking my nose

sharing my food, my drink

heeding the Call of Destiny?

*

Did I Stand enough?

Balance those moments

when cowering, I Sat?

*

Do you ever Wonder

who would I be Now

were I to die hit by a car

instantaneously?

*

what have you done

for Yourself, Others

the Earth?

*

You realize too

once the few

who know you Pass

no memory of your Time

Here remains

*

Do you ever wonder

Have I been my own Messiah?

  1. I have missed your words, my dear! A very beautiful poem and fantastic artwork by Yaron. Questions I often ask myself in the wee small hours as I lie alone, listening to the mad, erratic beats of my heart…..

  2. How rare it is to hear the words that are the only words for each of us. Death comes like a thief in the night. Old age and incapacity comes. What can we do now, while we are strong and have the juices for valiant action — or even just the strength to stand.
