Death is not the end,
Merely a symbol of movement,
Part of this epic journey,
Through numbers that estrange.
Third, fourth, fifth,
Until we reach 10.
Our death brings about new thought,
A life inside our minds.
Our spirit is sent free,
To soar among plains,
Of endless thought and knowledge.
Bodies no more.
Third is the life we lead now,
With the restrictions of our bodies.
Movement can hurt and falls can kill,
A box on our sole.
Fourth is in the dream time,
A hint of what’s to come.
When we sleep we move,
But hit back with force on awake.
Death is not the end,
Merely a symbol of movement,
Part of this epic journey,
Through numbers that estrange.
The reaper himself,
An angel in disguise,
Catalyses the movement,
The journey through numbers.
Fifth is the beauty of death,
The loss of constraints,
Physical pain is no more.
Knowledge boundless…
Sixth is purely mental,
We begin to lose hate and fear.
The owl we become,
Sleep is in vein.
Death is not the end,
Merely a symbol of movement,
Part of this epic journey,
Through numbers that estrange.
Seven is blissful,
Peace at a non-being heart.
The noose will burn,
Emotions fade.
Eighth is paradise,
Physics and emotion are asleep.
Not to awake in a life of mentality,
We stay, we live, we know.
The answers are now ours.
Our lives are fulfilled.
We can choose to begin again.
We can choose to stay forever.
Death is not the end,
Merely a symbol of movement,
Part of this epic journey,
Through numbers that estrange.

a very inspiring write indeed ...
you did a great job here with this poem, and I consider it a very appropriate answer to the prompt, for it seems to reflect the common message contained in esoteric literature on this subject ...
not that I have read a lot on this topics, but I somehow got the essence ...
I very much like the refrain-quatrain, I find it magically enchanting ...
a very thought-provoking journey through the world of numbers, going far beyond the numerical value human mind gives them, but rather stressing on the qualitative value, very dear as well to most numerologists ...
thank you for the delightful ride through your world,
all the best,
maa

You do have faith in creativity.
This is an intersting format in need of minor touch ups to become class A+. It is class A in formatting-really interesting.

I am in total agreement with Andy.. very well formed and in depth of life and death
the surroundings of the afterlife is questionable
