Holy Spirit

(Picture Credit - Pentecost by Jacqui on Swordofthespiritnet)

The Laws of Physics say

That Everyone Dies

And is Gone:

Every blade of grass, insect, man and woman.

Every sentient being.

From Big Bang to Big Whatever.

They all Die.

 

Yet is there more than this?

Something of the spirit.

More than ghosts

And poltergeists.

An afterlife

In Heaven.

Another Realm.

 

Some say that when you die

You re-join The One Being,

Let’s call it “God”.

 

Your individuality may be gone,

But you become part of that Super-Consciousness,

The One,

And thus Remain.

 

The logic of this is frightening:

It means that I am part of God,

Just going through a phase

We call Life,

In readiness for

For Ever.

 

You too are part of God

And logic dictates

That I am my own Mum and Dad,

My sister, friends and everyone else:

Mother Theresa, Hitler, Shakespeare

And Eddie The Eagle.

 

I am a wasp, a lion, a dolphin, a tree

Maybe even a germ.

Another poet

Commenting on my poems.

I’m even You.

 

Better get on with it then.

I’ve got plenty to do!
