At the renaissance fair

Life is ephemeral. 
We need to treasure one another.

Death is final — 
a cement wall. 
Physically impossible to breach.

I can sense the other side. 
My heart feels it. 
Yet I am unable to touch. 
Unable to grasp.

Yet love 
somehow 
filters through 
the smooth cold concrete.

Many blessings

Jerrod
