    Poem Commentary

    Death is not cruel.... it is the journey at the end of life. For my Aunt Jo. Taken on 10-15-09   Your smile will never fade

    The Messenger

    I take you in my arms releasing all your sadness and pain. Holding you tight so you feel my warmth. Pay no attention to what you have heard of me, for it isn't true. I am here to comfort you in your time of need. I can and will take care of you. Close your eyes and breath deep. Let yourself go. See? All is gone, all is forgotten, everything is alright. I was sent to get you. You knew I was coming. Say goodbye, for now you are mine and all is well. Its time we leave, for I am death and we must walk away together.

    Why do if death means as it does to us or we are told -- we fear it...? What if death is simply another birth and birth is the final call.. an expulsion from some realm... maybe even eden into this world... I fear not death and know little of birth and forget in between... This is gentle read death and birth are often not gentle... we can only hope our next is gentle...

    short but well written message. I think you could really strengthen this piece by making it longer. The concept and tale could be brought more detail. Excellent idea; just build it more.
