Of Death
We are but a tendril;
a whisp, really
of spirit, desperately seeking
experience, inside
this mortal body, doomed
from its conception;
a damned vessel,
destined to return to
the elements from
which it came

One of the best quotes I heard about Death was from 'Cloud Atlas':
“I believe death is only a door. One closes, and another opens. If I were to imagine heaven, I would imagine a door opening. And he would be waiting for me there.” ~ David Mitchell

Dear L,
While I’m conflicted about life and death on any given day I like the visual of being a tendril, a whisp. To me, it expresses the smallness of a human compare to the vastness of the universe. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust kind of thing for all the rest of it. This piece a beautifully crafted perspective on death. H🌷

"destined to return to
the elements from
which it came"
These closing lines are the harsh truth, beautiful and poetic and oh so true.
Great stuff.
