ReactorON THE COUCH WITH DEATH
One breath is death's notice
Most men must heave out their flesh to become a naked corpse before judgment
|
The death of a dear friend or family member is tough, piercing the heart’s ability to beat on, even though it is rapidly stricken upon itself, in breathless aching pulses. What makes living a challenge is not found so much in our contempt riddled society, we all flail about in that, but it is found when the departure of a deep rooted spirit association escapes our grasp. Swirling grief creates a timeless bottomless pit triggering desires of flight on a sickened stomach. Death invades where the emptiness the world delivers brings nothing of interest. Our loss is their freedom. No substance can replace spirit.
As there is a retched smell to death, equality so, there is a sweet smell to life. Death rivets the core of all that is yearned for. Death is especially sharp when it is of a passionate soul that cares enough to believe in the goodness of others; a soul lifter that touches you with hope that you are not yet the best you can be as they climb on. Souls in continuous connection for the love of it; a wife, a brother, a sister or father; more than a friend or mere association, an essence beyond enunciable faith, praising an unlimited hope mutually found, peacefully igniting that eternal life welcomingly together, no matter the threads as they part; it is called the deepest of loves that rises beyond the stars. Surely, Heaven draws the brilliant. No mortal can help the dying resolve their plea for help. All will possess mortifying sorrows, encouragement lost leaving just an enduring gut wrenching sting, plucking from the inside chords out; twangs. One cannot quantify inexpressible loss which cannot be measured in such a collapse. Oh, how deep can a heart fall? Sharp are the depths of love’s awakening that rides where no one can go. Good memories often well up horrible for living’s absence. No expression of love in life can be replaced; there is no taxidermy shelf of comfort. Time will never heal what is lost. Achingly dazed, it is not a lie when pain carves open wounds of truth. Breathless, yes, holes are carved in hearts when despair slices and tears sore the eyes with a throat that waxes dry. Anxieties shock may diminish over time, but the ache forever remains sinking deeper upon the weights of living. Many suffering treasures remain to the siphon of the past. As age becomes aged, the silver ice of love gone by can be so bitterly cold, with only warm memories of breaths past, in moments so preciously seen in unforgettable unconditional bonds. Loss steals the harmony of love. Memories cannot replace the whites of the eyes as images fade and the soul wearies. Many profess these truths. The needles of thought pierce death’s wounding helplessness. As time’s worth evaporates, permanence escapes the mere mortal. It is by nature that we yearn to return to that which is greater in a limitless expanse. Blessed are those that die to awaken in Him. - Ron Bert 2011 |

It would seem hate is easier than love on this forsaken world.
To reject and deny the truth is a recurring pattern historically.
One chooses to humbly rise or falls smugly alone.
What road do you travel?
Hidden self seeking agendas try to assassinate what is straight forward.

The death of a soul reveals true character;
~ either nobler toward the good for others
OR
~ despicable toward selfishness mired in contempt.
Death reveals our intimacy with God.
