Greater Consciousness

Greater Consciousness

God came down silently
and softly took you away
in his loving arms.
The strongest fruit tree
took time to be uprooted.
Ravaged by confusion
and insensibility,
ties are not broken with ease.
No one dies before time.
All is predestined,
as was charted out for you.
You had to fly out
of the doors of 
entanglements, 
to make room
for the next to take over
your enviable seat.
Now our days are numbered.
It is the turn of the next
to hear the death-knell,
'Your time is up!'
