There Is Nothing More Or Less Than Life
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

There is no consolation

That I can offer you

But I offer you my love

As I promise I will always do

 

I am sure your fondest dreams

Were boldly shattered yesterday

But please take this very moment

To reflect on what I say

 

As you face the loss and emptiness

As grief and sorrow live with you

Embrace your raw humanity

To be human is all there is to do

 

Time and time again

Life does not seem to go our way

But how can we really know

It should be other than today

 

We feel the dreadful sorrow

We see tragedy, endless strife

But despite how it may appear today

There is nothing more or less than life

 

What if there were no beginning

What if there were no painful end

But merely life in transformation

Eternal life a glorious blend

 

No need for endless sorrow

No need to live just to survive

But the joy of endless moments

Of all there is to be alive

 

There will always be fond memories

Unrealized hopes, unrealized dreams

But of one thing you can be certain

Life is never as it seems
