Smell of Lavender

Some people faced death and regret it
Some protect themselves from death

Most never know that even if you live
you are never truly alive
You must embrace death
let it become a companion
that is a friend yet a betraying ally
that it is ready to destroy you

let it know you are willing to face it
without remorse

those who breath the smell of sanitizers and germ killers
have sense and do live
but they are so careful
they narrow their range
chances of them living longer is true
but what about the chances of living fuller?

I might be a hypocrite but it is still true
maybe one day
my hand will be pulled into the air
and be alive
to know
the smell of lavender...
