UNFINISHED LIFE

We are never truly finished, we are never truly done

Just as the sun never gets to its destination

Though it sets out every dawn

We can never finish living, life only ends

Then we leave tears and memories

In the mind of family, foes and friends

We are never ready to go it is death that comes

Just like when we think the sun moves

It is the earth that turns

The only finished life is the one that started

The only way we can finish living life is to start living life

And for a start we can start loving

We can start loving the way the sun illuminates the day

and the way the moon brightens the night

We can start loving the way the rain wets the earth

and the way the trees dances to the wind

We can start loving the formation of the birds in the sky

and the transformation of the caterpillar to the butterfly
