in opposite poles of life or death
was there ever one without the other?

in pendulum swing becoming alive
then quickly returned decay and demise
salvation surely must live in the middle
the place of the balance must solve the riddle
where wholeness justly comes, full circle

can one banish the death within the self
giving it license to become immortal?

the psyche so influenced by
mortality's zeal and the religious dogmas
the spirit reels, when all it ever wanted
was to know "what is real"?

so there it is to be spoken of
eyes big with wonder
privy to opportunities
hands extending curiosity

shared, expressed and listened to
the wisdom of its use
for harm was never its intent
so often we leave too soon

but is life ever lost?
isn't it just the body expiring
that temporary shell that allowed us to play the game?
and the personality perhaps evaporates
of the beliefs and quirks of essence
but what we Are, the conscious
that knows alive, is always here
and never dies, as it moves in... and out... of form.
