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

A brilliant poem. Liked the last three lines: death is but the door opening into perfection a release for the beautiful the kind the just a release from life splinter flesh corruption. Top marks.
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.
favorite lines: departing depleted wasted body spent............i guess someone died! ! death is but the door opening into perfection a release for the beautiful the kind the just............what do you believe happens to the ugly the unkind the unjust? ? ? ? what about THEM? ! bri ;)
