Death With Meaning

A Meditation on The Death Experience

confused immaterial consciousness. 

on the knife edge of a dream state.

suffused with questioned awareness .

being with no meaning.

 

no goals. no hopes. no wishes.

no past. no future.

truly now here Zen, truly here now. 

sequential time with no meaning.

 

disorganized chaotic thinking.

pressure to focus on linear.

circling a strong desire to comprehend.

a panic pressure with no meaning.

 

a dim, blurred light grows.

hushed, incoherent voices intrude.

floating with no resistance. no direction.

inward focus with no meaning.

 

a solid image forms.

my peaceful motionless body.

no breath. no color. no life.

physical world holds no meaning.

 

change requiring resignation.

peaceful acceptance. finality.

no regrets. no purpose. no needs. 

fading memories hold no meaning.

 

light grows in intensity.

becomes powerful, warm, attractive.

Am I becomes I am.

floating to death with meaning.

[Salvatore Buttaci]

A very good poem I just voted for!

[Blackbirdsong]

This is so much nicer than Kubler Ross...I really love the solemn acceptance in this poem. There is strength in resolution the becoming of I am from I...it reads like an anthem. Some truly gorgeous thoughts and lines here. Makes me want to kick myself that I haven't read you sooner. :)

[Isadora]

even poetry through out, but I did not like the title. It seemed too upfront for a meditation of a vague life experience. Death with Meaning I find too pedantic and does not match the tone of this piece.

again, this be meese views.
any other wanker will gratify you with their black-tongued words of encouragement.
