We fear death
the way we fear darkness,
as if, when we close our eyes,
there will never be morning.
But those who are dying
are encouraged to
Go Towards the Light.
Those who come back
from the brink
tell us they saw
the most beautiful loving light.
Perhaps, when we fall asleep
that final time, on earth,
where we open our eyes next
will be our
full Awakening.
