[bodytext] => Death sat contemplating suicide while speaker after speaker opined: The scientist intoned; 'The Cell is immortal only personalities die; Death cannot commit suicide! ' The Buddhist decried all end points citing endless cycles, renewals. and reincarnations. The biologist argued that the only death that mattered was the death of species; 'Individual biology matters least.' 'Only the planet matters' said the environmentalist. America lofted the individual graffiting on the Universal wall 'All Death is the Death of the individual.' The British had no remedy offering instead a spot of tea saying Death Down is better sipped with chin up determination. The pastor said 'Death is but a passage on to Heaven or Hell and best to get your life straightened out before you hear that tolling bell.' The Fatalist said 'do it, do it.' It is inevitable' 'Death' said the existentialist 'is other people who can kill your spirit even before Death comes- you arrive already dead at Deaths Door. Life too is other people who can make Death mute in a life well understood. But, above all Death cannot commit suicide; if you do I will have nothing to write about' said the Existentialist. Death rose finally and spoke in breathy tones: 'I admit I have enjoyed the praise of the Fatalist; enjoyed my role as the Last Aribitor of Grim Joy and Lifeless Bravado; all come to me with diverse faces fear, hunger, worshiping or welcoming; but my Joyless Smile silences all of them because on this side of the portal I am King. To some I am Joy, or Release others see me as Horror Grim. But I am to me much maligned and misunderstood. Now in my own Suicide; all this will be clarified my death means the end of time; the end of all history Birth too shall also end with my demise.' 'My suicide' Death said is then, too, the Death of all Things, because Life has no place in the Universe without first I, Death, having also lived. You humans fragment what is an Immutable Whole and point to fragmented beginning and end points; guide your lives by these and blind yourself to the Wholism Seed which says; there is no beginning and no end there is only the passing through the Passages where Birth is the very End and too the very beginning mediated by the Grim Gatekeeper: Me. Life spoke saying 'Death you say that your demise is essential to my own beginning. that without endings there can be clearly no beginnings and with no Stops On The Railway of Time and Space; everything ceases to exist. 'So Friend Death you say we should relent: for all to continue to exist we must forbear you so that the flowers might bloom so that time continues to mate with space, so that all that is possible is birthed from Death's fine potential; and Life's creation is of a piece made possible too by your suicide. I Life, owe you everything.". Death sprang from his seat. 'You make a mockery of me? Do you say that I am but a path to you Life and irrelevant; only a handmaiden to your purpose.? ' Death's anger was livid red with his dark countenance the mix was maroon tint. Life stood his ground to rejoin: ' "You Death have a fatal flaw: in laying claim as life's progenitor once spent and shorn you say we all fall into your arms to reluctantly embrace the night. .' Life stood her full height sputtering "The purpose of existence is not Death but Life." You have misunderstood; Death is not the dying nor is it the Surrender of Life. In Death not only does the individual die but sadly Death you too also die because the dream is one of immortality not dead death that you represent. Indeed you are the Grim and with each day have no memory that you are the dead one dying; most times by suicide. Shocked and humbled Death gasped. 'Can this be true? ' 'I die a thousand million death's so that you life can renew? ' 'True' Life said You are Myaytar to the New and die so that I Life can renew.' You are a means not the end. 'Think on this Death. Came Life renew from Grim Death? That is too precious an irony and more is likely untrue.' 'No Life renews from LIfe and you Death must step aside by natural cause or suicide. Blanching Death said 'All of this then predicaates on the Death of Me? ' 'I think so' said Life; and it was so that Death then died by his own hand; a reluctant suicide. Death is individual including mine; repeated endlessly its seems for all time and each time I forget, it seems my own death is doomed to repeat and I not remember.. 'All Death' Death said in his last swoon is the Death of Me.' My own Death not remembered. 'And' Life said 'if you don't go willingly or by suicide Nature has decreed you will have to go Unpeacefully by my hand. 'Such a simple truth.' Death said 'Life is first in all of the Universe and Death is last and favored least. Tragic, too, because it is my destiny to Die again, and again by my own hand. "I am Death and I die too" Death said with his last breath "In the end I perish as only a sacrifice to Life and thereby make my Death in my view Noble Best. With that he expired.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
