Life and Death Poem

Life and Death Poem

The circle of life and death has always been part of existence – actually part of the whole universe.
Life and Death Poem demonstrates that both, life and death, are but two sides of the same coin; one gives rise to the other like a phoenix coming to life again when rising from the ashes.
Life cannot be without death, and death has no meaning without life … they are completely intertwined.
We have no control over either of them, but we can accept them as they are and thus live a better and more contented life with a deeper understanding of our own selves and the part we play in the universe.
In this amazing poem, death says: Mine is the world of majestic stillness – of grace and ash. I am darkness … I am death.
How does life respond? Read on and find out!

Life and Death – Two Sides of the Same Coin

I’m all curious wonder and lively music
I’m all dazzling vibrance and mesmerizing colour
I’m all careless youth and striking vitality
What am I if not the rousing warmth of summer
… the promise of desire unbroken?
Mine is the world of passion – of spark and fire
I’m unyielding – I bow to none but death alone
… since none but death alone shall come after me
People love me – at least most of them

For … I am beautiful

I am light … I am life

***

I’m all boundless grandeur and unending silence
I’m all overwhelming quietude and ghostly paleness
I’m all magnificent wisdom and splendid repose
What am I if not the chilling cold of winter
… the promise of eternal peace and resting bone?
Mine is the world of majestic stillness – of grace and ash
I’m unyielding – I bow to none but life alone
… since none but life alone shall come after me
People hate me – at least most of them

But

I’m also peaceful sleep until life reborn
I’m also inner calm until all slumber torn
I’m also tranquility of heart until all silence worn

For … I am breathtaking

I am darkness … I am death
