Embrace death
Welcome it coming
Be ready.
Shed possessions
Live simple
Reduce desires and wants
Let needs suffice
Take care of creaking bones
Gracefully embrace dependence
We can’t outdo time
It wins and we wane
Accept the slowing down
Before you’re forced to climb down
This illusion of being in charge
It often causes us harm
Disillusioned and disappointed
Independence a prime possession
We don’t control our next breath
Death hovers overhead.
So why the ego- why?
Coz I forget and am blinded.
Shaytan loves smokescreens
And I fall for it frequently
