Poem Commentary

Ezekial 37:4-6: Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, `Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' "

Will you awaken the
Life-less corpses that have
Lost all of their being?
Will you revive soldiers
Broken into tiny pieces by
The cruelty of this War?

Will you collect the
Scattered ashes floating mid-air?
Will these dry bones assemble?
Will they ever breathe again?
Does the origin of life start
Where we again question the
Existence of our entire beings?

You see, Death is Separation
From the Source of Eternal Life-
It’s believing in your heart
That you are still alive,

Accepting facts as we see them
Is living a lie, Because our
Life is only a small vision of
The existence of a massive dream-
What lies beyond those doors
Is the truth behind reality.

We shall only live if
We live as if we died,
If we are dead to the
World, then Life, we shall
Find lies in the Death
Of this will-full mortal soul,
And allowing Eternal-life to
Create a new whole to the
Pieces-we all-are missing,

The enigma of life is
Intriguing-We cannot finish
This puzzle all alone until
We have all the pieces.

I think you have encapsulated many things I believe and holdfast to in this great work..."We shall only live if We live as if we died, If we are dead to the World, then Life, we shall Find lies in the Death" Simply full of truth and beauty!

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
