Engaging With Death

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Floral arrangements can be a cheap trick, why can’t you lie?

What are your true thoughts intentions besides the bouquet of roses?

How big can a white lie be?

When you lie to yourself, you sell yourself short like you are selling me short.

You must intend harm to yourself and me.

If I can withhold that intention, I will not harm you or myself.

What is better, health or sickness?

Trick question, mistakes are made.

You may be conscious of your intention and do no harm.

Imagine being good and knowing it.

To know death is to examine my own or part of my own death.

Imagine being dead and knowing it.

Good is not death and death is not good, at least not by imagining and being and knowing it.

Is this dance with death the allure of a lie, of harming one?

It helps to see yourself, your intentions, your good, your lies, your dying.

When I see another lie, I see my mistake,

When I see another harm, I see my mistake, my harm, my death?

Stretching my imagination takes practice.

I need to get to know myself better, without harm, by doing my best.

No worries, I won’t miss many mistakes, but a few.

Perhaps, I will live a good long life with the good, bad and ugly.

It will still be worth the trip.

The Evolution Of Death

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

To dance at the precipice will led you to the great fall.

The age of the individual is respected in the best way possible.

Yet, we blame the old, infirm, and the disability.

How can we create life from ashes?

It is true that we blame death itself, the old scoundrel.

We are being forced to be more responsible to outlive the very things that disrupt and shorten our lives.

Now we see death as a motivator.

Perhaps, the wait and see attitude towards that aneurism of life will make me see my provocateurs.

Does not death have a partner whom we call life?

Becoming to terms with death, may sound confusing to the uninitiated, but to face a fear like this one only evokes sorrows.

First we have denial, anger, blame…

Is that it, the eventual acceptance or the usual kicking and screaming that occurs at deaths door?

Set new limits, embrace the partners equally in their turn, express it all, grief, pain, anguish and much much more…

Forever

The Two Towers in heaven,

They will live no more,

A change has happened,

Let me tell your more,

There are those who claim to know,

The story of how they fell,

But who amongst you knew,

The wire walker’s tale,

In 74′, he walked to and fro,

And all the people, they did see,

His message was simple,

Respect:  the wire walker’s wire, the Two Towers, and New York,

Perhaps, as his girlfriend at the time announced,

“You have given the ‘two towers’ their soul.”

And it is with this sentiment that it is hard to acknowledge the tragedy of 9/11.

It’s true we will never forget all those whose lives were taken during that terrorist act.

And it is equally important to remember the act of freedom that proceeded it.

The wire walker entertained the world with a tale of freedom in New York on top of the Two Towers for his audience in New York.

To respect life and death requires balance, fortitude, and determinism.
