Life
Death has its own music that
can only be heard by those who
have danced with death,
It is not the music that is heard
at a funeral march or the music
heard in a horror show,
Deaths music is inviting and enticing,
it penetrates the very soul, it’s almost
a feeling of having faith,
Death takes you in its arms dancing
with you like a long loss lover in a
song that you can feel its flow,
the rhythm of the music blinds you
with total abandonment and a feeling
of mirth,
I’ve danced with death so many times,
I know every step that death incorporates
in its beautiful glow,
now when ever I am in its powerful hold
I embrace it, because I have no fear of
death,
I know that when the music stops and death
packs away its instruments,
there is nothing else,
I know and vow.
No toil,
no debt to pay,
no pain and sorrow,
memories are lost, there is only the finality
of death,
Now I live life,
I enjoy life,
it is not death we fear,
we do not know death,
but we do know the fears of life.
