Notes About The Poem

Life

LIFE
                            goes on
                          we just be 
                      
                   our hourglass empties 
                 and fills at the same time 
              death is merely a pinch point 

       “cause slips through, rebounding effect”

Thank you Jenna, it’s really how I envisage the big picture to be, life, time, and the cosmos simultaneously going through the pinch point of demise to rebound into a perpetual loop of eternity, cheers David

Heya Lasaad, I hope people see the simplified analogy of time/life reducing into the pinch point representative of death, yet still contains its potential and information on the other side, cheers David

Thank you seeker, I believe the hourglass shape is a macrocosm of the eternal cosmos, perpetual in motion and filling as it empties, cheers David
