When All Is Gone There Still Is You Poem by Chuy Amante

Things, events, people, experiences come and go
years pass, people pass,
gravity pulls harder and harder
on body parts

We are still here

All there is is life.

We know nothing else.

Magic holds it all together
and it rolls forth unceasing.

We are still here

After the tears, loss, gain, emptiness and virility

We are still here

After winning, losing, healthful or boozing,

We are still here

We are life

one of God's nerve endings
a fully conscious cell
experiencing being life
