death is a strange thing

 

death is a strange thing

one minute there

breathing, in and out

here with us

then gone

death is a strange thing

the only universal

and still unnatural 

the only certainty 

and still unknown 

death is a strange thing 

gone, and yet 

never again nonexistent

living on in memories

and people 

like me

Thinking about my grandpa who passed away this week. I will miss him. I'm so glad I was home to get to say goodbye.
