I am of the earth

i am of the earth

and to the earth i shall return once more

life and death are old friends

and i am the conversation between them

i am their late-night chatter

their laughter and tears

what is there to be afraid of

if i am the gift they give to each other

this place never belonged to me anyway

i have always been theirs

 

(rupi kaur)
