Carry On

My other half

my neighbor

my friend.

You will die in my

lifetime

and I will be left without you.

How does life go on

without you as a

constant companion

to support me?

Even if I was ten years older

then I am now

you would still leave this world

before me

and I will be left behind.

Species should not

affect friendship

but it does when it comes to

age.

So how am I going to

carry on

without you?

    Slow and drawn out

    the aftermath of recovering from harsh conditions

    yet still standing

    the beauty of ancient strength and wisdom radiating from it

    yet still full of surprises

    still going

    still growing
