Morbidity, and most profound...
It tends to dwell where Death abounds.

But what is Death? It's but a door...
To open, then to teach us more.

Teach us of an after-life...
One of bliss? or pain, and strife?

Before his scythe we all must bow-
I faced Him then, i seek Him now...

In essence... Death and I are friends-
And we'll embrace, when comes the end.

Off to read Paula's post after this, wow wonderfully written piece, yes I agree that death is just a transition.

Gunslinger ~ a most excellent piece you have penned here.....   SB

“The union of the mathematician with the poet,
fervor with measure, passion with correctness,
this surely is the ideal”
