Life that ceases to exist in one form is reborn in another. Because of this, we should have no fear of death nor grieve a loss. In order to ensure our growth from one form to another, we should strive for spiritual growth and understanding of the human relationship. This understanding comes from emotions enhanced by music, song, dance and poetry.

When you’re not here
I measure the space
you used to occupy
large areas become
vast and endless
deserts of you
not there
