Headstone Of Sorrow

Did you wear your life out;

 did you use it all up

 —what are you saving it for

 

We’re all running headlong

 toward a hole in the ground

  —that the past and future insure

 

Are you stuck on tomorrow

 lost in wishes of things

 —hoping there’s still more to come

 

Will your headstone bring sorrow

 to those mourning your loss

 —inscribing what never got done

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)
