K Young and Naked

Death is going to part us, luv
life is speeding by
hands are going to cease
their hold
the coffin's not a lie.
Our eyes are going to blink
then shut
our ears will block new
sound
then we'll really start to ask--
Where, exactly, are we bound?

Beauty lies in many shapes,
sizes, types of sound,
it also makes us stand and
cheer,
makes the world go round.
We think of death as
ugliness
it sweeps in like a thief
We think of life as
mostly sweet
ignoring miles of grief.

Death is going to part us, luv
we've each a flight that's
booked
Even so, I smile and see
you young and naked--God,
I stared and looked!
