Life && Death Poem by careema cooper

Death lives forever...
leaving us in a midst of grief and sorrow.
Taking us to someplace unknown
leaving us with questions unanswered.

Death...
It is the greater illusion that frames our existence
Just a spurious perception of reality.
It is nothing but the defeat of our conscience.

life is what we make it....
It's a beautiful, but transient gift from god
A journey we all take part in, seeking who we are.
It's filled with joys and wonders, ignorance and tragedies.

life...
It is the expression of our spiritual existence.
The interval of time from birth until now
It is the reality you create for yourself.

life and death are unpredictable....
It's our beginning,
Our end,
Our fantasy,
Our reality,
Our fear,
Our friend,
Our maker....
