All of the poems in this blog are spirit-inspired. Every word came to me each day for a full year while in deep meditation. I simply wrote what I heard onto a pad of paper in my lap with eyes closed – meaningful, multi-stanza verses in mere minutes. I was unaware of each poem’s theme until I transcribed it later word for word. Each day brought new and wondrous discoveries about the world beyond our five physical senses, incredible wisdom, and messages of hope which I share with you in this blog.

Poem #183 - On Death
Since time began
Man has tried to understand
Death.
The ceasing of life –
Always shrouded in mystery and fear,
But finally, let it be clear…
Death is merely a transition -
A change of condition.
There is no need to cry and wail
When one leaves the body’s jail
And once again is free to fly
Simply not seen by your eye.
Spirit’s really what you are
Free to travel near and far
Limitless with no real bounds
News that some it does astound.
But hear us when we say to you:
Greater things they are your due.
When you pass from earthly life,
No longer will you deal with strife.
So pity not the ones who die.
In no coffin do they lie,
But wander freely, like a cloud,
Far freer than your earth allowed.
"Death is merely a transition - a change of condition." A beautiful reassurance from the world of spirit today that we should not fear death nor feel pity for those who have gone before us. "No longer will you deal with strife" is a comforting statement for sure. And the image of the cloud wandering freely is a lovely way to end this poem and emphasize that we are better off without the restrictions imposed upon us by the physical body.
ReplyDeleteOn to feeling happy for those who have made this transition before us...and to enjoying the beauty of this day...
What a beautiful poem on death and so clearly stated. I Like the line "Spirit is what you really are, free to travel near or far."
ReplyDeleteThis poem gives me a feeling of comfort and reassurance of what lies beyond our flesh and bones. The ides of not being attached to anything and traveling freely like a bird givs me a feeling of peaceful.
