Of life eternal
The Gita says, what is born must die.And as the bodies pile up,
our noses continually rubbed in the dust,
we begin to tremble before such a truth.
But in that truth lies a subtle assurance.
What is born in illusion – our temporal selves
over and over again born of ignorance,
must by the same truth someday die eternally
while the God part of us, the part never born,
never born, can never die. Can never die.
O child of God, take note of death
only as a harbinger of life eternal.
