                   To the Journey

                     Death, Is!
         the portal from one life to another,
                      a wall,
               the end of a beginning
            and the beginning of an end,
                   an evolution,
                  a metamorphasis,
                 a divided highway
                leading to infinity,
           a linear, yet, convoluting path,
              following into a realm
             void of yesterday's light,
                 igniting, growing,
          rotting, decaying, and digesting
              in the bellies of maggots.
                     Yes or not!
                 a powerful paradox,
                     Death, Is!
                   to the journey.

My husband and I were discussing this very trip yesterday and of course, did not come to any final conclusions. Enjoyed reading your poem!

aaaah, the tree fell and trillium heard it fall. that is good! i believe the trip should not be a dark adventure. it is good that family members such as you and your husband discuss such issues. i have discussed with others, myself, not only philosophically but from a practical standpoint, too. i have found it to be an interesting subject...the subject, of that specific point in life, referenced in the poem... and the journey taking us there!
