A death is something
that cannot be repeated.
This is why it hurts so much
when a loved one dies.
We know we won't be able
to repeat the experience,
no matter how painful it is,
to have back the life before.

About me
- HK Stewart
- I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Irreplaceable
Gone today,
Gone tomorrow,
Windows sway
Away in sorrow.
Whom can I talk to
Who knows me by heart?
Carnations turn blue
In the shopping cart.
No one to touch,
No one to play,
This harp is too much
To free me that way.
Loss tragic as this
Tears open scars
And ravages bliss
On electric guitars.
How little I grow
Without their insight.
Without them I know
Love flames out in flight.

Nor can we ever regain that one moment when we realize how much that person meant to us. We can only truly endure the death of a loved one once -- if we repeated that moment again and again, it would probably kill us.
