Death touches everyone
and leaves no life untouched. We can elude it for a
time, postpone it for many a while and sometimes even
pretend it does not exist. But it touches us even when
its grim, icy fingers fall upon another. And those whom
it touches leave behind them the memories of who they
were. Our love for them is what we remember. Our hope
and faith that they continue on after death is what
we pray for. For no one gets out of life alive. Yet
new life can and does await each of us. At least that
is what this poet believes.
Deathlessness is about
experiencing life's many travails and death itself,
and suffering the aftermath of those we lose to death.
Grief and sorrow are two of its byproducts. But so can
be strength and courage, and renewed hope in the deathlessness
of the human soul. This is also about the loss of faith
and hope and other great human qualities. But likewise,
about finding new faith and new hope and all that make
us more than human. They are the qualities of kindness
and charity and compassion, and goodness and love. These
things too, survive death.
