Bargaining

The last time you died, you made some promises

When I learned that my friend died, I sat down and remembered what it felt like to be with him. I imagined his spirit free of this place. In an instant this came through.

Bargaining

Do you remember
the last time you died?
You begged to come back.

You promised you
would be different
this time.

You promised you would appreciate
every rainbow
and every rainstorm.
Every victory
and every struggle.
Every beginning
and every ending
