Refusing to appease the host
while skin and bones hang on
His mind departed, his spirit free
— his words released in song

Kurt, this lands like a quiet letting go…heavy body, free spirit…and you let the moment breathe. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks TR. If we all live long enough, I think this happens. Eastern philosophies talk about
things like Nirvana where the spirit leaves the body. Catholic mysticism throughout history
is similar ...
In many cultures refusing to please the host is taken as extremely bad manners and may be punishable by death. A good write Kurt
In this case, the host is yourself.
