Death, Time and Love
3 great constants
That run through everything
They give life meaning
They give purpose
Pain and Joy
Death the great equalizer
The great destroyer
All things eventually die
All things come to an end and so shall we
MEMENTO MORI, CARPE DIEM
Remember that you die, Seize the day
Time the beginning, middle, and end
The great fulfiller through which all things pass
Without it nothing would have meaning
In an infinite time
Our minds could not grasp the
Importance of the things which we hold dear
We need it to make us understand how valuable things are
Love what are we without love
We all love something or someone
Even if that person is long gone
Love never truly leaves us
It changes forms
It changes functions
The love of a friend
The love of a sibling
The love of a parent
Who are we without love
What would we be without
Death, Time, and Love
Thanks to Denice Hijab for the amazing movie recommendation Collateral Beauty which gave rise to this poem.
