Despite beliefs contrary
Our culture's message is
Death is a frightful end..
There is unwillingness to
Consider that we stumble
As we walk in the darkness..
Gripped by handcuffs
Of  illusory separation..

Disregarding many hints
We weep as we hold a finality
In appearances of life ending..
We all await that moment
Whether lengthy or brief
To discover that Life has
No beginning and no end..
