All We Left With
By Artem Vaskanyan
We all know that life can end at any moment,
Even though we often ignore this fact;
But when someone close to us encounters death
Then we begin to acknowledge
That death is closer than we thought it was.
None of our possessions,
Nor our loved ones
Can come with us;
And our bodies, no matter how strong
And beautiful they are,
No longer good to us.
All we left with is,
What we had gathered in our souls
From being on the spiritual path
Throughout our lives.
