When Life Is Enough
When the going gets tough
or the pain is enough,
there’s no longer a point –
should we blow this joint?
I want to be running
the day would be stunning
the end of the flight
from that quiet night
For once I was not
and yet will never be,
without a care or thought
for all eternity.
But do you think that reason
determines the season
or when we will go
to our final show?
Stull, I long to be free
of the clutter of things
but hold to my life
and the peace that love brings.

I long to be free of the clutter of things, too – I think they tie us here.
Great poem. It gets into the philosophical question in an elemental way.
