What Is Death? Poem by B.J. Ayers

Is death the end?
Is death the beginning?

A key that opens
A key that locks

A new Awareness
Or devoid and empty

A spiritual awakening
A tomb forever

An eternal soul
The end of a soul

A new awakening
Or no awakening

How does one know?
Or does it matter

To live for eternity
To end as dust

Is it the beginning?
Is it the end?

A choice to begin
A choice to end

A beginning to life
To ignore is to end
