The body a mere dish of fragile <br />Thou is of sterner stuff <br /> <br />The spirit commanding and proud <br /> <br />Do not confuse one with the other <br />Do not be lured into flesh <br />When thou is of soul <br /> <br />Thou are not made of anything <br />Or by anyone <br /> <br />Thou creates <br />And are not created <br /> <br />Death begets life <br />A new form divined by thee <br />A new beginning to thrust life <br />With beauty and accord <br /> <br />Do not get caught up in death <br />Instead get caught up in life <br /> <br />Thou art spirit <br />Thou art soul <br />Thou art you <br /> <br />© 2014 lgjaffe<br /><br />Larry Jaffe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-begets-life/
