Death Invites No Fear
(blank verse)
Not long, but clear and strong, came Dad to me.
His death was tear-fresh grief most numbing new.
Dad's words steered me away from tragedy
And gave me proof that death invites no fear.
Souls ebb and flow, roll like ocean's own tide.
Be death but two clear doors, one souls pass through,
And one love-sealed to hold all life earth bound.
When flesh life dies, one's spirit life remains
On journeys aptly mapped for souls' growth-gain.
Each soul endures umpteen human lifetimes
'Til spirit consciousness shines light divine.
Now mortal senses hold the universe,
When spirit senses would spare us our worst.
In race and gender, many are fast wrapped,
Yet death shakes gone both sad, human rigged facts.
Misplaced emphasis could be what ends us.
When spirit sense outweighs human nonsense,
We shall seal heavenly wrapped, peaceful traits.
