Living In Deaths Void

life turns tables if not the tide ~ helps to bail death out over the side when all life sinks death itself dies ~ quanta pours back in to fill the void just to be clear what this implies ~ a universe needs death to reprise By David Kavanagh

I think the universe needs us when dead every bit as much as it did when alive Stan, I honestly cannot see any possibility, other than a cyclical universe; the things we ponder at night, cheers David

Interesting thought David, without life death wouldn't exist, so true. Dinosaurs are a good example, they all perished but life found a way to come back and brought death back to life in the process. Enjoy your weekend, warming up here now, hope you have the same. Tom

Speaks for itself Tom as you wisely point out, death cannot exist without life, which gives a profound implication to the meaning of life, yep weather is great enjoy the weekend, cheers David

Heya Dilly! I read this as an inevitable consequence of what happens when all life dies, and there can be no more death, another big bang will happen instantaneously, like the present one we live in came out of absolutely nothing, I once wrote another Monoku called ‘overcome’ which somehow got POTD but it might help explain this one (Death cannot endure eternity ~ if it could we’d never be born) cheers David
