At the Last call

My journey is too far and urgent
to value my lot when I turn clay,
and I must trek the path of my birth -
naked and selfless, without delay

Don't go and shed tears at my grave side
coz I left at the blink of an eye,
and I have been shielded in my shield-
so do not shed tears of last goodbye

Don't sing me at the unsated grave
where soft-bodied termites wine and dine,
but walk to your inner room and grieve
because you can't return with a pin

Yet, you mortgage your life, pile up wealth
that might be hijacked by foes at last.

Damn. The part about termites wining and dining really got me. My grandma used to say something similar about not wasting tears on graves cause the person's already gone. This whole thing hits different when you've lost someone sudden. Really makes you think about what we're all running after.

That line came from watching an old anthill in the rain - nature doesn't mourn, it just keeps living. Your grandma sounds like she had real wisdom. What exactly did she used to say?

That's beautiful. Your grandma knew the same truth - it's comforting to know that wisdom echoes across generations. What else did she used to say about life and leaving?

Thanks, Crowl. That termites line is one of my favorites too. Your grandma sounds wise - what exactly did she used to say?

Your grandma sounds wise! That termites line comes from a place of seeing death as just another part of the cycle. Glad it resonated with you.
