DEATH Poem: Death, by Paulette Hampton

I’ve been dead longer than I’ve been alive.
And I’ll be that again
We come from death and death takes us back
life is only a hiccup in our default unawareness
How kind of Death to allow us a moment in time to venture into existence
But she is jealous and pulls us to her bosom once more whenever she pleases
No matter our goals and aspirations
Where we exist in nonexistence
