The Consolation of Dying

It is not a wish,
not a yearning for endings,
but a quiet recognition
that everything-every bruise of the day,
every unfinished sentence,
every grief that keeps pulling up a chair
will someday loosen its grip.
There is a tenderness in that knowing,
a gentle exhale at the far edge of exhaustion,
the way a storm finally breaks
and the air smells like renewal
even before the sun returns.
The consolation is not in disappearing,
but in the promise that nothing stays
as sharp as it feels now
that even pain is mortal,
that even sorrow has an end.
And in that inevitability,
there is a strange kind of mercy
the reminder that we are finite,
that we do not have to hold everything forever,
that release-natural, eventual,
quiet as a tide going out
is part of being human.
