Questioning If

If poppies harbour oblivion,
their vivid presence
belies a deep potential.
As if oblivion really worried me-

Surely, death becomes more
than this state of oblivion.

If a brilliant point of transition brings me
to an unimagined state
then nature cannot forsake me

I certainly agree that death is more than oblivion. I rather look forward to mine. :-)
