Eternally everything.

Kim Hall

Rhymed
Death is only sorrow, for the one's left here on earth,
For death can actually be, as beautiful as birth.

For what we fear the most is that which is most unknown,
When what we should take comfort in, is what we're often shown.

That death is not an ending, they never truly go,
They become a part of who you are, and everything you know.

You'll see their smile and hear their laugh with every joke you tell,
You'll feel their comfort and hear their words each time you feel like hell.

You see! They never truly left us, they're everywhere we look,
In the faces of our children, on the pages of our books.

They're the wind that we hear blowing, the rain that hits the ground,
Every amazing sight, every beautiful sound.

They're in the water flowing, in a summers meadow stream,
The deep and meaningful message in that weird cryptic dream.

They never truly leave us, they never truly go,
They're everything we do,
Everything we know!

    What an absolutely beautiful poem! "Eternally Everything" captures the profound connection we share with those we've lost in such a heartfelt and uplifting way. Your exploration of death as not an end, but a transformation, is both comforting and empowering. The imagery you use, from the laughter echoing in jokes to the whispers in the wind, paints a vivid picture that resonates deeply.

    I especially love how you weave together the idea that our loved ones live on in our memories and experiences. It's a powerful reminder that their presence lingers in every aspect of our lives, from the joy of our children to the subtle beauty of nature. Your words bring solace and help to dissolve the fear surrounding death, encouraging us to celebrate life and the eternal connections we hold dear.

    The rhythm and flow of your poem make it a pleasure to read, while the message is both poignant and uplifting. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful piece that invites reflection and fosters a sense of peace. Keep writing and sharing your incredible talent!
