"Life", not as in life on earth, nor as in everlasting life after we pass from the earth, but life in the sense of truly living. Life in the sense of being consumed with joy, love, and peace.
And "death" not in the sense of deathly things such as sin. No, death does not always need to be ugly, repulsive, or something to be feared. Certainly not in the sense of its other meaning- because with death brings new life (as exemplified with the butterfly and leaves giving to the earth). Death brings us with entry into everlasting joy, love, and peace.
Ironic, isn't it, that death (as in expiration from this earth) can mean life- everlasting life in joy, love, and peace in Heaven. Yet, life (truly living on this earth) can bring us things of a heavenly nature, living in joy, love and peace. Confused?
The bird soars south.
He follows his beak.
It leads the way.
The whale travels north.
The treacherous waters
Won't have her fooled.
They are where they are.
Not where they've been.
Not where they're going.
They are where they are,
Living with life
until death brings life.
