Eternal Is Death's Life
Lost this day, breaths drop like a flatline
ripped from you pitilessly, mourning
is a temporal option: all attempts to capture
gentle moments, now done, gone--
yet, not everlasting evermore.
Such demise is but a pause, a furnace beaming;
and we will hold each other beyond earthly realms
that I will never ask where you are,
unafraid of the moon rising from its throne :
Although a willow droops around a grave
we are here: you, radiating light beyond vales,
I, flowing with a spirit from another heaven...
Then, generously laugh with me, dance our song
of angel-harp and plumed marigolds--
for life unto death is beauty eternal
timeless as a cross' glorious renewal.
