Rest in Peace
There is beauty in death
The finality of grace
To lay in peace
With a life of accomplishment behind you
A legacy of the person you wanted to be
Even when you fell short of your intended goal
You can rest assured that the effort was made
And for that, your life will have been complete
One day the ones left behind, will know
In an epiphany of a lost moment
That you tried to share yourself
Even when you didn’t know how to just be you
Let life’s raindrops flow through you without hindrance
The effort of resistance is just too much
Allow life to be life
Let yourself be only human
The rest is up to God.
Jéan-Pierre, Dean

(Wrote this piece as I watched Kevin Spacey’s brains splattered all over his kitchen table with a bemused look on his face. I was watching American Beauty again and the simplicity of the message that we’re alone basically alone trying to connect to others in attempt to find our true essence. The effort is muddled but the goal is clear.)
