Death is no sunset. No passing beyond the pale.   
Death is not dark. Nay! Death is a laughing dawn 
as a million bits of what was
irradiate the universe
giving life to what will be.

Death is no silence. No soul's stillness.
Death is a thundering disquiet
as those remaining re-echo
their memories of those gone.

Death neither ends nor begins.
It is but a single depot passed by
Our train of roaring generations.
Patrons at the station
stand in awe.
