Suspect death

Suspect death                                                                                            
 
When you begin to suspect death
is not an exit but a roundabout
 
and you feel your ribs as bars of a cage;
your loneliness ghostly – chronic and eternal,
 
then the God within you begins
to elbow His way to the surface. 
 
You think it’s a quest but it’s a dismantling.
It’s not life eternal you’re after, but permanent death,
 
finding out later it must come to you
(like deaths of the body) of its own accord,
 
a predestined step toward resurrection;
the last one-and-only-true death to undergo
 
before (by Meher’s promise) you cease to exist entirely
within His everlasting Oneness.
 
O child of God, let your imagination soar
but only to aid you in the matters at hand.
