Media Vita In Morte Sumus

sometimes as we hear the eulogy
of the love ones departing
we sense this Death in the Middle
of Our Lives...

As one departs as the Others Cry
As children look without understanding

What sorrow is, what Pain is
We feel the void scratching deep

Down on some recesses of the Heart
This Emptiness that somehow also

Gives us the Courage to Move On
In us these little lives also depend...
