Death
Philosophy of Death...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



D E A T H




Some say that death
is the loss of being,
and maybe that is so.

But I think death
is the absence of all
we've come to know.

Death is when
our heart has forgotten,
when we no longer recall

the embrace of a lover,
tears of happiness,
storms passing into delight.

Death is losing that endless cycle,
but I think, it should carry
only passing sorrow.

For death is the embrace
of a new beginning,
a step through secret doorways

into existence elsewhere.
And once we stop recalling,
the loves and memories of old,

it is the start of a contented life
lived in a different house,
on a different plane.
