Life and Death

Life, like a blooming flower
Life, like the bright summer sun
strong and free
a beautiful gift.

Living, like vapor
living, like a breath of the wind
come and gone
a shooting star

Dying, like a sunset
dying, like a candles light
slowing fading
fades to the night

Death, like a piercing thorn
death, like a cold winter wind
a stinging pain
an unrelenting foe

It seems the end
inevitable, unavoidable
but there is no fear
for in death is Life

  1. I like how, at the end of this, death is at first portrayed as this horrible thing. But then you go on to say that there is no fear in death, but Life... so true. Death can be a beautiful thing for a Christian. It's when we are finally reunited with the Lover of our soul.

    This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your heart. :)
