No Death
There is no death
And yet
When those of power
And those of gentleness
Shuffle off their mortal coil
And move
From this place
They depart our world
Leaving a void of grief
In all our hearts
There is no death
Merely a movement
Of souls between places
And the pain we feel
Is part of the plan
It feels so real
But it isn’t
It’s a lesson in anguish
It’s no more and no less than
A new phase on a long
Adventurous journey
That’s why
It doesn’t do
To throw in the towel
Go home in a huff
Or play truant
This is the secret
Of love and faith
A little thing
We learn to share
With each other
With the universe
There is no death
Only eternal love
Love without end
