Epitaph

 Photo:

Life ... the paramount gift of being. An

incandescent flame burning brightly until

the vagaries of time snuffs the embers.

That supreme measure of timed existence

imbues us with sensory perception in

our evolution from child to maturity in

a span of time that arouses our senses

as we see the world, hear its sounds, feel

its substance, search for meaning and 

companionship. Ours the opportunity

to achieve mastery over our ambitions

in the free agency of our minds opening

to the mysteries and wonders surrounding

us. Curiosity to be satisfied, emotions to

be satiated with the comfort of love and

belonging. An intellgence of the higher

order alternately surrendering to lower order 

emotions inscribes the tablet of our surrender 

of life unwritten between the story of how 

we lived accompanying us beyond the barrier

between incipient life and its final completion 

where fulfillment is a mystery known only to 

the departed. And in death no one speaks.
