I’m Curious About Death

I’m curious about death,

Of what lies beyond,

Of the humongous Universe, watching above,

Embracing us on Her lap,

Some cushioned with no pain and grief,

Some still suffering from woe and strife.

I’m curious about death,

But not afraid of its burning nostrils,

I’m curious about how the expanse of spirituality,

Enlightens some, and dampens some spirits,

I’m curious about how the morning sun rises without a nudge,

And how it sets without a murmur.

I’m curious about death,

I wish to see what lies beyond,

Peace is perhaps what rests there,

Peace to share, and love, and care,

I wish I get to soon be there.
