Death A Door Opening Into Perfection Poem by Terence George Craddock

Death A Door Opening Into Perfection

Rating: 4.8


with dissipating life breaths
with pale shadow breaths
until the mirror remains clear glass;
until heat breath moisture
no longer wings our words
up into heaven blessed waiting peace;
when pure mind soul are released
from fading waiting body expiring...

when our freedom soul ascends
departing depleted wasted body spent
then is the ultimate mercy in peace sent;
death is but the door opening into perfection
a release for the beautiful the kind the just
a release from life splinter flesh corruption;

death for some is a release from agony, many face agony before their death, cultures individuals have differing opinions, different belief systems regarding death; few attain a perceived perfect death, a perfect death is an inner peace within self, the belief perhaps that our life was fruitful, attained our goals provided for loved ones; which lives values are worth living has many judges, the love we bequeath bestow upon others is one touchstone; death is finality or eternity death will judge

I hope you are right and that 'death is a door opening into perfection'. You express optimism-better than despair and complete annihilation when you die.

'until the mirror remains clear glass' a reference to a test for death in an earlier era, I had never seen anone write this, the idea intrigued.

A release for some may prove a trap for others. Perhaps so many fear death, or convince themselves they can evade the inevitable is precisely, ironically, because they have never tasted ethics.
