Poetry list
the living mystery
death is so
much more than
absence
it defines value
and life
itself
it opens a
new dimension
of the
invisible
enfolds our
literal limits
in the voice
and verse of
silence
remembered and
unremembered
it welcomes us
to a certainty
where all fear
ends and
untrammelled
life begins
the chasm and
division of
grief
is reintegrated
into the greater
truth and
meaning
we can neither
make nor
possess
this mystery
challenges
all our
certitudes
to give
a home
we can
never
lose
