Paradise Dreams For Paul T P Burne Poem by Terence George Craddock

fear of death is a universal theme
because death ends all mortal life;
first age causes reflections in later years
retrospection pondering in time lost years;
then death the termination of thought
the prospect the great dusted off nothing;
society has many established beliefs
speculating or claiming to know what;

eventuates after death
the answers are religious
the answers are cultural;

Paul's desire become personal...

with a desire to exist in paradise
a paradise of everlasting fruiting trees
water running past for eternity;
