-- Death Never Looks Past Time --

By John Herlihy

 

Death never looks past time,

Time never looks past death.

Time with its eternal rhyme,

Closing God’s circle of truth.

 

Time forever short-sighted,

In journey around the circle.

Eternity forever long-sighted,

Making possible time’s miracle.

 

Time forever marches backward,

Its footsteps leading into the past.

Eternity always marches forward,

Into a future that will forever last.

 

Time is but an hour, a life, a day,

Eternity, this hour, this life, this day.

Our precieved time here is nothing compared to Eternity and it's gifts. Gorgeous poem, much enjoyed, John.

BOTH TIME AND DEATH IS CONTROLLED BY GOD AND IN OUR ETERNAL EXISTENCE...IMMORTALITY...TIME AND DEATH WILL NOT EXIST. SO IT IS, INDEED YOU ARE RIGHT, BECAUSE WITH DEATH...TIME AND DEATH STOPS. SO THEN, DEATH NEVER LOOKS PAST TIME. AND TIME NEVER LOOKS PAST DEATH. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

An interesting insight, John. As I see it: He who lays up treasures on earth spends his life backing away from his treasures. To him, death is loss. He who lays up treasures in heaven, looks forward to eternity, because he is moving daily toward his treasures. To him, death is gain. He who spends his life moving toward his treasures has reason to rejoice. So, we who are destined to die, need not be careful to inquire what death we are to die, but into what place death will usher us. Peace.... rlc

Very in sync with Tao beliefs. The eternal circle, indeed... yen and yang, a universe of potentialities with infinite iterations of creativity.
