Understanding Death

Contributed by blueheart on Thursday, 29th May 2003 @ 12:35:00 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief



You called me yesterday late at night,
Phone calls I hardly get,
In a soft and sullen voice you said,
Her younger brother is dead.

I was shocked and couldn't say at first,
How could he leave this earth?
Even though I never knew him well,
This news, this silence - it hurt.

To feel death's impact came as a blow,
It's painful sting I've never known,
I can't imagine an ending like this,
Yet it's not our will but His.

So I hung up th phone later that night,
Hoping to continue in sleep,
But I couldnt forget a sister's breaking heart,
Her sorrow, her tears, her grief.

I got up again minutes later,
To write what I am ending,
To pay remember that little boy,
And to gain death's understanding.

Everything is changeable. At any time, due to the nature of flux, we can lose anyone - our loved ones, our parents, our friends, even our very lives. But death is not the end.

Kamma is released from the physical form it inhabits upon death and will initiate the process of reincarnation again unless that kamma is of purely good kamma. Have no fear. Don't grieve nor pray nor blame any God, but rather learn to honour your dead through good deeds and merit. In that way not only will you enrich yourselves, but you will also respect the names of the fallen.

Death is a very hard thing to take sometimes, especially when it happends to one so young. Very nice writing friend.
