If the Black Slayer slays and yet, knows not
Is his a dream or mental onslaught
That exists at the behest
Of the lord of time
Using Angels as warriors
Creating miracles
To keep man's hope for peace alive...
If the Black Slayer slays and I recognize
That life is the dream, harsh and abrupt
Should I not expect death
As my neighbor whom I treat with respect
Just another leaf rolling on the wind
As part of my path, whom I embrace in the end....
If the Black Slayer slays upon a lofty throne
And humanity destroyed in a crescendo catastrophe
Do I not recognize that this has happened many, manyΒ times
Ancient civilizations continually fall and rise
But the dream never ends
So does time ever begin or end
Or is time the dream
That we're learning
To bend....

Until we may not be aware that dying is a process as natural as birth, but conversely, human beings never understand death, come from nowhere and nothing absolute headed us all, at the time of death is very important temperance, humility and a spirit that is open to any destination, including that old dream of eternal life.
Before the souls of the dying death may occur as a Black Warrior, but also as a luminous nymph, one way or another death as any farewell creates pain, resentment, and sadness in those people who are still alive, the death provided it is not associated with crime, genocide, suicide or disease is a natural process of life and as such should be referred to always.
I agree with PoetessDarkly, Tony Taylor apart from being a good person is a magnificent writer. I recruited him to the first minute of stepping on COSMOFUNNEL, "Love and Rockets" is the title of my next writing inspired by a real event.
A greeting.
It would be an honor Lucas!!.........A poem called Love and Rockets!!...........hadn't thought of that one my self...........it's noticeable all over COSMO that you leave some pretty detailed comments.........and bring a fresh perspective to the Cosmo family................thanx for this amazing comment my friend..........I especially liked the "Luminous Nymph" comment...............Love and Rockets!!..............T xo
