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 the
death of an aged 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.
