Those left behind
must go on
without you
and make it work
without you
all the while celebrating
your birthday
with prayer
and memories
whilst being poets
of their own fate

The bitter medicine
and tonic
that death is

Nicely said and may that bitter medicine work its magic healing and bringing you onward to new life. Well done
Thank you, fellow Poet.
It's bitter, but is it really a remedy?
There is no remedy to death, given. However, having experienced death, or loss rather, enhances the appreciation of life in the present, for those still above ground. There is medicinal property in that. Personal opinion.
I love this explanation!
May that bitter medicine eventually lead to a new and better tasting life, nicely written
We are indeed the poets of our own fate, whilst celebrating memories of those we lost. Melancholic and so lovely…
