 The Blessed Death of the Righteous
1The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil. 2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.…Isaiah 57:1,2.

  The dreams of youth germinate

Into cocoons of silky threads

Patiently woven over endless years

Butterfly wings overburdened

By teary clouds hoping

To find their final abode

Among fading flowers

Gathered in passing

Memories collected

In our music boxes

Loose their fleeting hold

To awaken yet again

The dear voices of the past

And the steps of the dance

Wind down and fade discreetly

  Behind the curtain

 

When the box is shut

And the notes chime anew

On the shelf of our thoughts.

 Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16
 For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall"  I Peter 1:24 New International Version (©1984)
