Life Is Not Poem by gershon hepner

Life Is Not



LIFE IS NOT


Life is not a having and a getting,
but a being and becoming,
both remembering and forgetting,
wiseing up before down dumbing.

Very truly life's a lot
like what you never had imagined, and
ultimately life is not
life, having answered death's demand.
