—Delight Of Flight—
And when death comes
To take you home
You’ll fight, you’ll moan
You’ll come undone.
To the unknown
You go alone
A flight of fright
~ Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest
loss is what dies inside us while we live* ~
So when death comes
To transport you
Let go of qualms
And just go through
You came alone
To this unknown
Delight, requite

Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write.
