Death Where is Your Sting?

A soulful search on the human condition and our unshakable companion.. death.

O death  where is your sting?

For I behold with calm assurance, the truth

of your inability to destroy me

O yes in time

you will visit me and maybe you will claim my frail flesh

but my soul

you shall never possess

For I am as eternal as tomorrow

I am as limitless as an echo

I can see

no ending 

and I can recall no beginning

Where do dreams go while we are awake?

For that is where I shall abide

In the space between

thoughts

In the sparking of a flame

when a bird takes wing and hovers in the air

Where there are no graves

and no pain

No tears and no blood

just endless vistas to explore

and awareness never ending

I go 

I shall go there evermore

"In the space between
thoughts"
i think i see you Ms. Violet .... with your wondrous heart and beautiful mind ...

"When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."

Tecumseh

Tecumseh.. what a fantastic quote!! I agree with him 100% My mother was half lakota sioux. and she would say.. " It is a beautiful day to die" I think that no one needs to be rushing to get to the otherside.. but i think we should make friends with it so to speak..so that when it comes we do not weep and cry and all that.. but, we go with beauty.

i agree ..we don't talk about it enough .. it should be as glorious as a birth .. if we lean towards the light of God that is ... the other way is just as surely quite fearfully desperate even full of venom hate and rage ... like opposing magnets those are the things that automatically repel us into darkness ..that is what i think anyway ... and i believe that Jesus Christ is the one that can help us ;)

ps my wife was 1/2 lakota sioux or charokee depending on which relative you talked to ... she passed away in 1989 ... still miss her from time to time :(
