I fear no death for death is a gift
A door to the eternal
When the door of death is opened
Life on earth is seen for what it really is
A blip on the sea of eternity
Here today, gone tomorrow
Without significance
For it is from this life that I see the eternal
But from the eternal I see this life
Only to see nothing
And to feel nothing
Yes, to be nothing and nobody
That's who I really am
Author notes
"i float in an endless sea of nothingness.
i decompose and rot; no Jesus to resurrect me."
