Death and Life

A part of me is dying
 – it has to die.
The rest of me struggles
 for I feel incomplete.
I know exactly where life goes
 because I’ve been there.

But it’s not a bad place to go,
you burn yourself along the way.
Just don’t go too far, make sure
you still have the strength to come back.
Sow seeds in ashes along the way,
cultivate life and rejuvenate yourself.
