Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

What is death

before we begin to inquire
what both life and death represent
is fate fickle, does God exist
let us pause to ask, who we are 
with an open mind, unclenched fist

lost in the maze of metaphors
bemused by sermons of pastors 
all we seek is freedom from fear
with truth reflected in clear light
as bliss strobes all nodes within spear 

the void of silence sets us free
invoking grace by pure intent
in staid stillness bereft of thought
we see within, light of our soul
untying the Gordian knot

God appears right before our eyes
simply put, He is love and light
our true being too, is as He 
God is the source of our heartbeat
when ego drops, we clearly see

death is but soul discarding form
a garment we choose to throw away
in truth there’s no such thing as death
as we fulfil our dreams on earth
we are being breathed by God’s breath

Miranda Hawley February 3, 2025 at 9:26 PM I agree with your message, that is up till your last stanza. Having said that, what you said in those lines matches, I think what most Christians think about death. I do think that one day God will come for both the living and the dead, then take His own home with Him to live forever and ever.

Valsa George February 3, 2025 at 7:59 PM Our body and its death is like a garment, we throw away. You have put it so right. Only when we drop ego, we can clearly see ourselves and others in the light of love. When our hearts get welled up with love, we can fulfill our dreams while living on this earth itself. Very sagacious and seasoned thoughts, dear Seeker friend. Unseeking Seeker February 3, 2025 at 8:14 PM Thanks, Valsa.
