Pass Away - Haiku - Tanka

The dead that now know God's move in ~predestined~ wind Sift through the free grass. You must be longer in there than I am this staid. Above you, to leave Where distant dogs bark, since then My fallen soul buries rest.

Indeed, death brings a sense of tranquility. A subject that frequently leads to melancholy is given a tranquil spin in your poem. Fantastic work.

Not sure if you're a Bible reader but you might find these verses interesting - Ecclesiastes 9:5-10. Death is sleep and rest. Have a nice Thursday Paige

Yes... there is peace in death. Your poem gives a serene take to a theme that often begets sadness. Well done.
