Death leads to birth rather than birth, to death. <br />Birth is close to death and not vice versa. <br />Every birth is at the result of a death. <br />Death to birth, not birth to death, is the path. <br /> <br />The death of clay is the birth of a pot; <br />The death of the pot is the birth of clay. <br />Ice melts to water and water forms ice. <br />In each conversion, occur death and birth. <br /> <br />The death of a night is the birth of a day; <br />The death of a day is the birth of a night. <br />New Year means the death of the old year too. <br />In each transition, takes place death and birth. <br /> <br />The death of a seed is the birth of a plant; <br />The death of gametes is the birth of an embryo. <br />Salts die to form cells; cells die to form salts. <br />In each growth, form death and birth of matter. <br /> <br />The so called death and birth is nothing but <br />Deaths and births of forms made of matter. <br />The matter itself does not die to be born <br />But is converted to different forms. <br /> <br />Elements disappear to form plants. <br />Plants as food add to the animals’ flesh. <br />Plants and animals on death liberate <br />As elements, serving through worms and germs. <br /> <br />When a child is born, there’s no birth of life. <br />The embryo transforms into a child. <br />When a man dies, there is no death of life. <br />The body disintegrates to salts. <br /> <br />Matter, energy and life have no death <br />They have got one birth since when they’ve been. <br />They interact and come different stages <br />In which the pattern is death and birth.<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-and-birth-4/
