Celestial Road

What will become of David,

the small boy without a mom?

Or Mary,

the old woman without a husband?

Or Egor,

the man who lost his sister?

On the road to Moscow,

we've lost so many.

The list makes lines

to the moon and back.

Soon we will be lost,

like David's mom,

the old woman's husband,

Egor's sister.

We'll be lost and found

on the celestial road.

Perhaps this road

is the rest stop,

a brief stop

in human form,

then away again we go,

like bees seeking nectar.

Each life gives us

something sweet

and a sting too.

Then we are off again,

flying amidst the stars.

Or maybe

we just cease.

That is all.
