Poetry: Fear of death

by Steve Marshall

Created on: May 02, 2008   Last Updated: November 12, 2008

Life always lives, and death always dies.
What does fear of death mean to love?
Where does the love of life fit into death?
Love fits into death, only by not going past fear.

You will never fear death, when you love life.
Finally your only dying by fearing holding life.
Life befriends love, as fear befriends death.
Finding fear is never around, when loves living for life.

Death is only fearful, when we fear loving life.
Death only lives, as part of a life of fear.
Which is greater? Fear of death, or love of life?
Which comes first? A love of life, or a life of death?

Life always lives through loving. Death dies from fear.
To a life of love, there is no death to fear.
Living fearing death, there is no loving life.
How can death live in us, still alive when loved?

Fear of death, is born of life, not so alive.
Which fits into which, as life dies to surmise?
Which is part of the other, to recover from love?
Does death exist, only in life dying, from not loving?

Does death independently exist, outside of all life?
Only fear of death existing takes you outside of all life.
Life gives birth to death, only from fear of death.
Birth gives life to life, in life, as love lives without fear.

Fear of death departs, without fearing life.
Life never dies, when life embraces death with love.
Fear of death only returns when life, departs from loving.
Love only departs from life, by fearing death.

Be totally alive while alive and living from love.
Death fears life's aliveness. Death dies from being loved.
What is life, and what is death?
Love is life to life. Love is death to fear of death.

How do the two disagree, and cause fear?
Fear arises because life chases after death.
When death avoids life, fearing to love living.
Live like there is no death in life to fear by loving.

Live as if life never ends, to die in death.
In the end, death will never win over life's love.
Life contains no fear of death anymore, through loving.
Death contains no life of fear, from adhering now to love.
