LINES OF THOUGHT © 2013

Naturally, in death I see a gain, not a loss,

It's the end of a journey, but the start of another truth.

It is neither darkness nor an endless void,

But a gentle passage, a return to the garden.

Life is but a breath, a fleeting moment,

And in death, I find the peace that life has brought.

I leave behind the weight, the weariness, and the pain,

And open my arms to the eternal, to love uncontained.

There is no fear in death, only a serene mystery,

It is the divine embrace, the return to history.

Thus, I see in it a gain, a path to tread,

Beyond the horizon, where the soul shall rest its head.
