When Death Comes

Thy eyes see not Beauty in Death,
Only a Life forsaken.
But open them, thine eyes and mind,
And see a path not taken.
Though, yes, Great Love is left behind,
See thee what is awarded.
Take not the thought of life ending,
A Death is not so morbid.
It may come to thee with pain,
But dwell not on such feelings.
Death frees thee from mortal chains,
And Life no loonger healing.
Each man has His Death and dying,
Such is only Life.
But once He's dead who knows what waits?
The limits are what one contrives.
See not Death as ever-leaving,
But as one story ending.
'Tis not the end, only an ending,
And next could be great stories pending.
Open thee thine eyes and mind,
And see what Dreams may come,
When one awakes in the next Life,
Where one Dream ends,
Another Dream will have begun.
When Death comes.
