Obverse and Reverse When Time Stops Still

The only reason we

ultimately chose mourn

is because,

in life we celebrated

such giftings of joy and gladness.

Yes, there is a time

for both ritual

and remembrance.

Yes, there is a time

for even of empathy

and of grieving

preceding the dark greed of

missing so selfishly what

we imagined possess.

But, the only logic of reason

one should consider just,

is to honour and celebrate

the very beauty which

would cause us instead to mourn!
