Death is just a matter of time
There is no cure for death
but there is a cure for time
There aren't enough hours in the day
Days in the week
Months in the year
That's not times fault
Time is just a measurement
It can be complicated
Expanding into enternity
Traversing multiple universes
But at its core
time is just a measurement
Existence measured with time
Is squandered
It's becomes
a 10 minute break
9 years to retirement
8 hours a day at a thankless job.
7 years of a broken marriage.
6 years of silence between siblings
5 hours of sleep.
4 years of college and a lifetime of debt.
3 days to move.
2 weeks to live.
It's one short life.
And an endless death.
There is no cure for death but there is a cure for time.
It's communication
Cuddling
Passion
Community. Therapy. Meditation. Yoga. Art. Music. Dancing. Math. Science. Belief, even if it's only in yourself.
Family
It's love.
Love is the cure for time.
Because when you love time doesn't exist.
When you fall into love with your entire being
time is an illusion.
Love is not quantifiable.
It's not a measurement, like time.
Love just is.
It's embedded in each molecule
in every memory of anything
and anyone
that you've ever loved and it can be shared.
Passed on.
After death.
Beyond time.
