Death is but a shroud,

Life is but;
A painting,
Bird,
Or game.

When one grows tired
Of such whims.

One covers it with a shroud.

Left the pall and it may be there,

Though the
Painting may fade
The birds turn dust
The game may rust.

Death is but a shroud,

No sense in covering one self,

And that
of course is all.

This speaks to me... I have lived my life in a shroud, and am only now beginning to believe it may be lifted.

Every form of life is bound to move towards transformation, no doubt. Death? We can look at it in many different ways, have our own opinions, but then ... of course we know nothing for sure until it occurs to ourselves.

Thus, also the dark hearts are bound to be transformed ... who knows ... into light filled gardens!

Thank you for the opportunity to ponder. Good job!

Indeed! A great allusion to baptism!
