Pray, Love, Repeat

The Ambulance beeps
The phone rings
Someone somewhere dies

I have been lately thinking of this life and next.
Wondering if there still is room for romance in this word of blood, pills,
Empty stares and standstills;
Wondering if there still is room for travel plans? Tomorrow? Hope?
There is so much withering, so much to cope.
I have been thinking lately of this life and next.

The Ambulance beeps
The phone rings
Someone somewhere dies

Divert your mind;
Check influencer accounts;
Plan for the big day;
Read quotes, profound;
This too shall pass and there shall be light.
Don’t give up yet, don’t quit the fight.

The Ambulance beeps
The phone rings
Someone somewhere dies
