I Believe In Death Poem by Michelangelo Onicha

I Believe In Death

Rating: 5.0


I believe in death
I believe that it is part of life
I believe that we are born to die,
to die so that we live more fully;
born to die a little each day
to selfishness, to pretense, and to sin.

I believe that every time we pass
from one stage of life to another,
something in us dies and something new is born.

I believe we taste death in moments of loneliness,
rejection, sorrow, disappointment, and failure.

I believe that we are dying before our time
when we live in bitterness, in hatred, and isolation.

I believe that each day we are creating our own death
by the way, we live.
For those with faith, death is not extinguishing the light;
it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.

...it is putting out the lamp before dawn has come. What a lovely conclusion to a well articulated poem written with insight. I concur with your convictions about death, which is our physical bodies' ultimate and final date with faith. A nice piece indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
