THE COMPOST PILE OF LIFE

Looking back over my life

All I see is one big compost pile

All my writings

All my thoughts

All my studies

All there in a pile decomposing

And then composing

My temporary life.

Looking back over my life

All those important things

All those unimportant things

All those significant events

All those insignificant events

All there in a pile decomposing

And then composing

My temporary life.

Looking back over my life

All the joyful times

All the painful times

All the celebrations

All the sufferings

All there in a pile decomposing

And then composing

My temporary life.

Looking ahead to my death

All my hopes

All my goals

All my dreams

All I wanted to do and be

All there in a pile decomposing

And then composing

My eternal life.
