Dying While Being Born
May 3, 2013
You may find yourSelf in a great mansion
or homeless on the street.
You may find yourSelf rich or penniless,
with not very much to eat.
You may find family and friends all around you,
or that you don’t have a single one;
You may find that you accomplish so much
or that you get nothing done.
You may find that you are genius
or that you cannot do simple math.
You may find yourSelf in a great depression
or on a chosen path.
You may find success or failure;
You may find marriage or divorce...
You may find yourSelf driving fast cars
or riding on a horse.
You may find the birth of a child or
the death of one you hold dear;
You may find yourSelf while laughing
or while shedding pain-filled tears.
You may find yourSelf in struggle,
you may find yourSelf in war,
you may find yourSelf travelling upon a distant shore.
You may find yourSelf a homemaker;
you may find yourSelf behind a desk.
You may find yourSelf in the city,
or the country, or forest.
But you will no longer care where you are,
where you are going or what you will be,
because you have found yourSelf
and in THAT you are forever Free.
