Ode To Death Poem by Conrad Seegert

Death,
A perpetual force
One that engulfs and consumes
But through this,
Creation

With death past precedents are left behind
It brings the heavenly light of modern ideology
The abyss of stranded thoughts is abandoned
For when one fire dies out
Another is created with its embers

Death is not the end, but the beginning
The start of something beautiful and true
As a golden field prospers in the warmth of spring
Life can only be fulfilled where your shadow reaches
For in your shadow people put themselves at ease and leave their past behind

You give life
For you are what drives all
The founder of all efforts and creation
Where the circle meets,
You are there

The grief you cause makes you the enemy
But like many of us you were never given the chance,
The chance to reveal the side of you that I alone can see
You are not a thing of spite, but love
The driving force of humanity
