~~A Little Step Away~~

To close the eye,
to fall asleep,
to draw a labored breath,
to find release
from daily cares
in what we know as death . . .
....Is this
the crowning of life,
....the aim
or end thereof?
The totaled sum
of consciousness,
the ripened fruit
...of love?
It cannot be,
for works of God
are wrought
for nobler ends,
and those away,
continue on
in the hearts
of kin and friends.
....It cannot be,
for they live
on a little step away,
....the soul,
the everlasting life,
has found a better day
