Divine Mortality

Divine Mortality When I think of being mortal I never chortle, but, instead I put those thoughts behind and hope to be divine If when I die there's nothing more and I will go away forever, never more to be, I'll hope for a miracle of some meaning or a purpose to define Perhaps it's true that when you die there's nothing more from ship or shore the course being silent, dark and deep Perhaps, at the thought of death we should just wring our hands and weep and into esoteric worlds of fantasy we should, hopefully, creep It's hard to be nothing at all, or into some empty abyss fall But, if there's hope to find and death is a rebirth of a continuum in space and time, then no matter what I do, my mortality is divine.
