The finish line

Each edge of that box
assembled to create the shape of death
a human death
a departure from the earth forever

Inside, the lifeless body makes it's argument
in complete silence
convincing us all that the spirit is at peace
That eternal rest has begun

To where he's gone there's no way back
the love of family and friends must pave that road
every round of laughter, every kiss and hug
a paver on his path to glory

His eyes closed tight, mouth pursed
not a hint of life within that skin
Death shaped in that coffin
People spread petals and prayer
and many species of care
But it remains hard to say goodbye
