Death is potential to that Man

Death is potential to that Man
Who dies—and to his friend—
Beyond that—unconspicuous
To Anyone but God—

Of these Two—God remembers
The longest—for the friend—
Is integral—and therefore
Itself dissolved—of God—

      Wow, this one really gets a person thinking about death in a new light. Rather complex when you first glance at it - gave me brain freeze for a moment 😂 But once u get around it, the message is pretty darn deep... gives a different angle on death as well as our relationship with god...something you gotta think about for homework, for sure 🤔😅 But hey, anything that makes the gray cells work, amirite? 😁💡👌🔥 I kinda love it, not gonna lie. 10/10 would read again during study break. 📚📝💯🙌
