Only Once

The dead cell never die again
Even if rain knocks down with raging flood
Or even if, Fire hugs with scorching heat.
Thunder and lightning are just nothing around.
As Eyes and Ears are gone forever.

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

this one-punch poem about evanescence is powerul. that all things die, including us, is a truth most would rather ignore. as we paddle along towards the big sleep, to the day 'Eyes and Ears are gone forever' that we lose our five senses and fall into pure darkness, the wisest of us will recognise its approach. but that wisdom is the key to our happiness. to be in denial of reality is fool's gold. knowing and facing truth, the most important truth being our mortality, is the best way to live.

Sure. When we understand once we go to long sleep. Life becomes different and happy. Accept death with dignity. Thank you friend 😊

The mention of natural forces feels like there is going to be some change or get destroyed in a catastrophe. Feels like an eerie moment. Then again the message hits us, that which is already dying then why fear and the philosophy " the dead cell never die again" dawns upon us. Very impactful poem dear @Arundass on the reality of death which is an absolute reality that we like to dismiss.

Oh my god..
We must put ourselves in good use.. we don't value until what's was there is not there anymore...
Thanks for sharing... the words of gratitude and so strong message 🙏

(When we born, we bring our own death too... if we remember that we will be always in alert ⚠️ mode... but acceptance show a to be grateful and being ambitious too.. )

Wow, this had me thinking it was something else. I had to read it twice to realize your meaning. It's very well crafted.

A character in a TV series once said "You only live once, wrong. You live every day. You only die once." How strange that we give more importance to death than to life. Maybe it's just because it's "one".

[Arundass TP]

Maybe... Thank you friend 😊
