Pass Away - Haiku - Tanka

The dead that now know God's move in predestined wind Sift through the free grass. You must be longer in there than I am this staid. Above you, to leave Where distant dogs bark, since then My fallen soul buries rest.

Not sure if you're a Bible reader but you might find these verses interesting - Ecclesiastes 9:5-10. Death is sleep and rest. Have a nice Thursday Paige
