Death
John G. Young, M.D.
Death
becomes you not,
comes not,
before you're dead,
in sickness and in health.
I'm so mad
we've stopped living,
before we're dead.
Too much is gone,
lost from us,
gone.
Loving is not leaving,
Going, giving up.
Surrender is not coping,
surviving mere existing,
neither living nor dying
till death see us part.
Why must we die
before resurrection?
