The Slumber Of Death
We often contemplate the secrets of life;
perhaps we ought consider another quest;
instead of focusing on our endless strife;
we might consider the meaning of death.
Death has been described in endless ways;
we claim it’s a cloud that descends;
it’s an obvious climax to bodily decays;
and it’s thought of, as when life ends.
It’s also been described as slumber or sleep;
as tho it’s apparent finality is a mistake;
for those who pray to God: “my soul to keep”
implies we shall eventually awake.
Tho the body appears to be a physical being;
in reality it is governed by living Light;
its essence and core is separate and unseen;
connecting both day and night.
An aura of energy surrounds our physical being;
thru it we gain all thought and control;
it; through faith; is connected to the unseen;
for it is the energy of the soul.
The body was never meant to last forever;
it is the coccoon of physical life;
when it dies; we are then joined together;
like a butterfly seeking the light.
Death; like life; is mere slumber for a season;
nothing at all, is what it seems;
only the Master can know every reason;
the truth hides in our dreams.
