Travel Light

The monied hand of death collects us all itself.
Only the true bereaved will feel a loss of wealth.

I never have seen a hearse dragging worldly means.
Long are gone the days of treasured funeral scenes.

Ancient kings lay naked now; all their goods displayed.
They mourn their loss unheard; inside the tombs slaves made.

Understanding was, thru the ages, slow to form.
Yet now, thru wills & trusts, legacies are the norm.

All you collect in life; whatever game you play…
Seems a waste of sun; saving for a rainy day.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
