Death is Not Dark

Death is Not Dark

A Poem by JLJVarlo
"

♪ Baby don't fear the reaper

"
Death is not a symbol of darkness, lost hope, failure or malicious omens to speak. It is a chance for new life to spread it’s wings and beat.

For flies come from carcass, the lone wolf gets a meal, the plants grow from the matter and breathe the world new air. It is a reminder to all things that we are all the same, the simple beauty of it is that we will all end in one place.

A grim reaper despite the name is nothing more than an usher to your new seat. Would you rather take the walk of death alone or have a figure in a cloak lead the way?

Physical life is just one way of knowing, your sentient self continues to grow as long as you like. Your thoughts are recycled, your spirit dips into the Earth. You rise from the magma like a phoenix and take flight. You store yourself in a new body, a pretty baby of the world.

When you peek your head to the light and air again the cycle can continue to turn.
