So as to live
With every breath you take
You die a little;
Wood must be burnt with every fire you make<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember Death, the sibling of Life
Those inseparable twins
Playing a game of hide-and-seek
Which one alone can win
Twins: Death and Life -and Death again
New Life does bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The herald
Of unlimited pain or pleasure
Timeless as Forever
Which has no measure
Where everything you treasured
In life becomes dust,
Windblown and lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever was dearest to your heart
Evaporates as does the dew
Which comes with dawn
When the light of Truth,
The light of the sun
Shines upon… It is gone…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Truth has a brightness
So sharp and strong
All else is dimmed besides
All else is insignificant,
When shadowless it lies
Diminished to true size<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So open your eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open your eyes: Death is Truth
As Life is Truth,
To every beginning there is an end
There is a night to every dawn… yet
When you hear a bird sing its song<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a leap of your heart
Your eyes become bright,
You know the sun has chased off the night
And as its last shadows disperse,
Ever so gently awakens the earth
To a new morn…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And once more
The tide rises and surges,
As your heart thrills to its core
As it fills with life and asks for more,
The waves hitting and pounding
Against the rocks by the shore<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The birds are on the wing
As stronger and stronger the waves,
Higher and higher they soar
As louder your heart sings,
Then all is drowned in silence
And darkness descends once more
But not before
You realize
You shall awaken no more
To this wondrous scene by the shore!
For as your gaze was lost in pursuit
Of the birds as they stooped and rose
Upon the currents of time,
Your footsteps blindly chose
To lead you aimlessly onwards
In a twisted line
To a land of no return<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Backwards they never turn,
The winds of time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as you crossed that land
You cried out in command: Stop!
But how could you stop by command
When drowning in quicksand?
For had you not been so entranced
By the flight of the birds through the clouds,
You would have seen with a glance
The beauty of heaven above<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as you stood to admire
That beautiful scene on the beach,
Had your soul only looked higher<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Than your eyes could ever reach,
You would have seen a sky of sapphire
Above a shore of pearl,
And waves of diamond unfurl
Over rubies as bright as suns
Beckoning in meaningful silence: “Come…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For even as was to you your breath
The companion of the heart,
To your existence such was death
Of which your life was part<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as when winter approaches
Through the land,
Unknown to man:
The scurrying of little creatures
Under the ground
Who in seasons of plenty
Back and forth ran,
Gathering provision
For when they’re earth-bound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Little creatures
Make great teachers
For those who understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So come O Man, sincere and true
Come into Heaven
It was prepared for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come to Eternal Life
And think of death no more,
Your soul shall rise and soar
Into never-ending Bliss<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And remember this:
