When My Earthly Body Dies- - A Tercet Poem by Susan Williams

When My Earthly Body Dies- - A Tercet

Rating: 5.0


.
When my earthly body dies
I hope my soul unchained flies
flies with God's sparrows into the sunrise
.
roams with the cheetah and roars with the grizzly
and when I have seen on earth all that eyes may see
I hope I flee into eternity.

Your Pantheistic view resounds, Universal union, Earth, its creatures, your crown Mysterious beauty does surround, Souls like yours, celestial bound. Very moving poem, Strong inner flow, The whole so very touching, Hearts overflow. Congratulations, dear Susan, another gem!

My bouquet to you Would be of roses, Queen of flowers, just like you But you're also Queen of feelings, And deep friendships, kindness too.

This poem has a special attraction that I wanted to visit it for second time. It is a great philosophical poem on life and death. Though this poem is in concise yet it expresses much about soul. Thanks again dear madam.
