A human life
is given free
and taken
without payment
The times
between
to lend and borrow
— till fate reclaims your soul

Well written. You are correct, life is a gift that is freely given and can be taken away at any moment, for no reason at all.
Thanks again for the great commenting.
This is a lovely write Kurt and a favorite
Thanks Soren.
Most welcome
Kurt, eight brief lines and suddenly mortality feels like a transaction none of us remembers agreeing to...simple, haunting, and impossible to dismiss. Excellent writing. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Most appreciative, thanks.
That used to be so but now there are environmental taxes and all other kinds of fees and levies, permits and penalties for both burial and birth. Not to mention atrocious parking and the fees associated with that. But I'm just going off tangent here. Always enjoy your poetry 🙏🏻🕊️
Thanks for reading.
Most welcome Kurt. Apologies if I misread it. 🙏🏻🕊️
