Celebration of Life
I was taught to mourn and grieve.
Birthed into the physical world, with a goal of transitioning back into consciousness is frown upon.
I was taught the gates of heaven would not be open to me.
Released into the purest from of energy as the dirt is thrown into a shallow grave.
I was taught to feel helpless and defeated.
Transcended into light and divine connection to the next life.
I was taught separation of the spirit and body do not exist.
I learned the loss in the physical is a gained ancestor.
I learned to feel the presence of spirit through meditation.
I learned the scared place beyond the waters await me.
I learned to transition is to transcend into the duality of life and death.
Such a beautiful paradox of life and death. This poem is so deep. I really enjoyed peeling inside your connection to all. Celebrate your beautiful poetry!
Thank you for commenting! I am going to submit this one to the anthology for sure.
