DEATH
mesmerized I am by what i fear the most
thought it had no place in my rite in this life
just to realize its death that will depart me to zero life
I trusted that my poor soul
will incarnate itself in midlife
ala snake shedding off skin
not knowing the fallacy of this premise
might lead to rift between the life in me
and the death that draws nearer
It dawned me late
that death intends goodwill
promised to set me free
once I overcome this obstacle they call life
I do not long for death
but sympathise for I misunderstood it
understand, I do
that worse deaths loom;
what if I was lost on wit,
lost on happiness,
lost on heart,
lost on love,
lost on beautiful mind,
lost on manhood,
lost on fortitude.
- Che Cirro
I read a piece on Death which subsequently invoked me to utter the above words.
Have I made peace with Death ? I doubt if anyone ever does, but we understand it is the culmination of the partnership between our body and the soul;the last of all partnerships before the soul makes its solo trip to a better place and setting the body free to unite itself back to mother-earth.

Nomad I believe Che is of the male gender. Death is fascinating to me. I can understand the negative connotation with it. Its the movement from everything we know to something we don't know. What lies after death? Eternal life? Do we lose everything? We all have to accomplish something in this life, after we have done our tasks we have to leave. Sometimes its a welcomed change and at times its a shock. Nevertheless I like how your put it;"The culmination of the partnership between our body and the soul"
