Sometimes you reach out to catch the air
like a child stretching for the moon
frowning when it slips through your fingers
Once I gave you a finger to hold
Yours trickled past aimlessly
Easier know nothing than the unknown
Death comes slowly choosing others first
some younger still with much to do
You will go on dying a long time yet
