When Earth birth ceases,
Gust to wind or spray to sea,
Peace - serenity.

Melton~ This is very profound! I, too, read it many times, each time, I saw new meaning and depth of understanding. Ellie

Marcy, Deb, Ellie,
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I have come to term with GOD and feel cremation is for me.

Melton,
  Death, to a believer can be a time of peace and tranquility as you have captured here so eloquently.

Moonbeams radiate
When the veiling cloud has passed
Playful shadows dance

You have treated an usually painful subject with the beautiful carress of faith, and it's steadfast confidence. A mavel of a few very will placed words & thought.  David

Karilea,
Bonnie,
Dennis,
David,
Star,
Rae,
I’m glad each of you have found something to enjoy in this short verse. Thank you. Death should be discussed often with your family so that it isn’t such a shock, if Death comes unexpectedly. Although it hurts, at that moment, we have come to terms with it.
Melton
