“Life ephemeral, death inevitable Soul eternal, so dear heart, be free from fear” Loving hearts entwined, tenderly holding hands in seeming eternity A flicker in space, gong of death, rudely interrupting delusion reverie Within the lucid dream, attachments first forged, then stolen by time Knowing life as it is, though recognising transience, we are in denial Plunged into dark dungeons of despondent despair our heart bleeds Sunken vibrations of deep loneliness and anguish shrouds our being We then shift perspective, looking inwards from the domain of silence Recognising we all are God essence, eternal boundless bliss and light In ambedo trance Myriad images bemuse Stupor veils the truth Death akin to changing clothes No one comes and no one goes 20-October-2021 Let's Mix It Up Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France (couplet, imagism, tanka)

Ah! When we recognised that we are beings of love & light eternal, merely encasing mind-body for a while, death of form does not impact us, other than reminding us of our temporary deluded attachment to transience. Happy you enjoyed, Connie :)

I loved the metaphor, "death akin to changing clothes, no one comes and no one goes". Great poem. I don't do contests but it's quite deserving and presents a different perspective.

Contests are fun, Nancy, if we don’t attach ourselves to the results, which are all subjective anyway, those which resonate, place. I know this, since I host contests regularly. The idea is to get involved and express your thoughts and feelings, shared vibrantly!

Wish I were like you. My rhyming is difficult. I am not English so our language is faulty.

Thanks Victor but possibly the sponsor is looking at a lucid real life example ~ no matter, the idea of penning this is to share the truth ~ by the way, I had to struggle, to compose a non-rhyming poem :)
