Inspirational Poems About Death:
A Whisper Away

Dedicated to Gloria Thomas (nee Godfrey)
8-7-36 to 24-8-22

Love is eternal
The greatest of bond
Forever we’re linked
To those we are fond

It’s heartbreaking when
They pass on in life
Grief can take a hold
Depression and strife

Remember the Love
And the Joys you shared
For that special one
Who you truly cared

Never more than
A whisper away
Your Love unites you
With its healing ray

Never more than
A whisper away
Their presence is felt
When in Joy you play

Never more than
A whisper away
They are with you now
Here, this very day!

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Backpacking In Paradise 

They have gone alone on a journey
To the most exotic faraway land
They’ll see crystal clear, vast seas
As they walk along soft, golden sand

They can explore dense areas of forest
Abundant with magnificent plants and trees
Or stroll through a quaint picturesque village
Basking in the sights, and the pleasant breeze

They might be feeling adventurous
And go climbing to majestic mountain tops
The view will be spectacularly awesome
Surrounded by the beauty that never stops

They might just want to sit and chat
Catching-up with a friend they have missed
Or, once again feel the Loving embrace
Of a Beloved, and be joyfully kissed

With no limits of health to stop them
And absolutely no chance of difficulty
They can do anything they desire or wish
Being their true selves and ultimately free

They took all they needed with them
Backpacking, they didn’t need much
Off-the-grid, but I don’t need to worry
As it seems, they may not keep in touch

I will Lovingly think of them often, but continue
With my own life, knowing each and every day
They are experiencing an awesome adventure
Now young at heart, they can relax and play

One day I will put on my backpack
Filled with all my experiences and Love
And I too will take the final journey
We will be re-united in Paradise above

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Brothers: Surrounded With Love

Written for my father's 86th birthday the year one of his younger brothers died.

Surrounded with Love
All through the years
In times of great Joy
And moments of tears

Throughout it all
Love is always there
In the family bond
You came here to share

Brought up with Love
Aged many years apart
The strength of family
Ingrained in the Heart

Drifting apart in time
As families move on
Starting new generations
In the Heart to belong

And era sadly ends
Parents leave the Earth
Roots ripped out of sight
Held strong since birth

Still surrounded with Love
From their new dimension
It’s more easy to feel
When feeling no tension

Times together dwindle
As the years pass so fast
Children, grand and great
Bring echoes of the past

Memories of youth
Funny stories to tell
As the mind grows old
It’s uplifting to dwell

And then one-by-one
Comes the time to go
Uniting with Loved ones
Leaving Blessings to grow

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Continuation Day

Many dread the day
When their life will end
Fear stalks their mind
Death cannot be a friend

They’ve suffered through loss
Of loved ones before
The pain intensely felt
So deep in their core

Through previous generations
People have been taught
Dying is the feared end
This is truly a distort

The pain we go through
When our beloved depart
Is because we see them gone
But they’re forever in our Heart

Life doesn’t end
It’s just the physical we loose
And we have the power
To feel, how we choose

They have gone from our life
But are in their Spirit form
Connected, if we want
To make it our norm

Just send them your Love
And think a happy thought
Be open to believing
A connection can be brought

They continue in Spirit
They continue today
Death was not the end
It was their Continuation Day

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Death Has No Sting 

Quote Title: Kryon-Lee Carroll

Death has no sting
You’ve done it before
You just open up
And go through a door

Leaving your overcoat
To be recycled to Earth
Not needed anymore
It contains no worth

Leaving linear time
Re-uniting your Energy
Remembering who you are
A Being of Divinity

Viewing the life you had
With compassionate eyes
In Earth’s duality
It’s hard to be wise

You made some mistakes
Had lessons to learn
But even bad experiences
Will cause no concern

For there is no judgment
To be faced, at all!
Only Compassionate Wisdom
On you will befall

And Unconditional Love
From All-That-Is, Source
All Beings of Light
Know you, of course

For you are one too
A Light Spark of God
You probably forgot
As the Earth, you trod

With no limits to contain
Your Essence of Light
You can make a choice
For you, that is right

To stay there awhile
In the Love, to bask
Or return to Earth
To continue your task…

While living on Earth
Can you open your door
And merge with your Light
To shine ever-more?

Only those on Earth
Will feel the sting
Of your passing
But, it also can bring

A way for them
To begin to start
Remembering the Truth
And open their Heart

If they do this
They will soon see
You are with them
Here, and to Eternity

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Death Is Not A Bad Thing
But A Joyous Thing

Quote Title: Abraham-Hicks

Why is it we all grieve
When someone passes on?
We’re just not connected to our truth
When we believe that they are gone

We’re taught as we grow up
That physicality is all we are
Limiting our perceptions
Blocking assistance from afar

In truth we are all Spirits
Whether here, or on another plane
On Earth we live our lives
For the experiences we gain

Over there time is not measured
There are no limits to believe
We are One, always together
There is no reason to grieve

Just because we cannot see them
Doesn’t mean they are not there
Our thoughts of Love bind us together
All the treasured memories we share

Death is not a bad thing
We all make the transition home one day
But a joyous thing when we discover
Heaven is not so far away

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Death Is The Greatest Illusion

Quote Title: Osho Rajneesh

Death is the greatest illusion
We never cease to exist
It’s just our Earthly body
That will be truly missed

We are pure eternal Beings
A part of our Creator, Source
The most used name is God
Some doubt this, of course

It takes an open mind
Not limiting by old belief
To realise the simple truth
There is no need for grief

Just by sending out a thought
Our Loved ones are close by
Though in another dimension
Not floating around in the sky!

We live in a 3D world
All linear in time and space
A beginning and an end
For all the human race

However, humans are evolving
Moving into a world of 5D
And from that new perspective
Other dimensions we can see

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Don't Bother With A Funeral

Don’t bother with a funeral
It is a ceremony of old
The one we’ve clung to longest
It’s so hard to break the mould

Traditional Christenings and Weddings
Have moved on with passing time
Some have let go of the old ways
Knowing their absence is no crime

For God is not only in a church
Or wherever we go to pray
All-That-Is lives in our Hearts
And Omnipresent, every day

Why put people through the agony
Of saying a last goodbye?
Producing memories of sadness
That linger, and make us cry

Their passing causes enough pain
So why create even more?
Especially, as they live on
The other side of a locked door

The door is locked to us for now
But one day we will have the key
And be united through our Love
Together again, our ‘eyes’ will see

When our coats are worn and old
We all just easily throw them away
The body is just an overcoat we wear
Containing our Spirit, for our Earthly stay

Duty and respect are words we use
Keeping people locked in, to follow rules
It’s time to let go of past reasons
And follow our Heart, to where it pulls

If we didn’t visit them much in life
Why do we haste to say goodbye?
Maybe guilt and regret play a part
‘Paying Respect,’ a fitting white lie

Beautiful flowers adorn the box
Where our overcoat is laid to rest
But in life did we give them flowers?
When they can enjoy them, is truly best

************

So don’t bother with my funeral
No need for ceremony to say goodbye
Love me as in life, as I Love you
And in death, I’ll wait to say ‘Hi’

Oh please, I do not want a ceremony
I’ve just got rid of my overcoat
I’m free now to be omnipresent
Into your thoughts I will easily float

I mean it truly, don’t give me a funeral
My dearest ones, I Love you and truly care
Remember the happy times that we shared
And know, for you I will always be there

27th April 2017

Since written this poem I believe many more people now have this perception of funerals. When I first mentioned it to my parents years ago they did not agree with it. However, now (2024, and both in their later 80's) they have chosen and arranged for no funerals.

To give and to receive
Above all else, it is the one true gift
That survives us when we leave
No matter the other reasons

Share your true passion with the world
Don’t Die With Your Love Still In You

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Everything That Has A Beginning
Has An End

Quote Title: Buddha
Everything That Has A Beginning Has An End
Make Your Peace With That, And All Will Be Well

We all love enchanting, captivating stories
From very young children to the old
Reading stories uses our imagination
We’re engrossed in how they will unfold
Books can be just a few short pages
Or go on for a whole series that offer more
But all stories have a beginning and an end
The pleasure they make is what we read them for

Films and TV series capture our attention
As we sink into and establish the plot
Our senses are bombarded with emotions
Through characters, music and the scenery shot
A film lasts for a short time, only an hour or two
A complete series can go on for a year or more
But all films and series have a beginning and an end
The emotions evoked are what we watch them for

Some people enjoy enhancing nature
Planting various seeds into a flower-pot
They nurture and appreciate the beauty
Whether a lavender bush or forget-me-not
Flowers develop wondrous hues and fragrance
Scattering their elegance in gardens and more
But all flowers have a beginning and an end
Their pure beauty is what we grow them for

One of nature’s incredible, bountiful joys
Is the variety of trees that grow everywhere
Their magnificence and majestic presence
Is enhanced with the lessons they share
Strength, flexibility, change, importance of roots
They give us oxygen and so much more
But all trees have a beginning and an end
Vital life-enhancement is what we need them for

Over our lives most of us share some time
With a pet who becomes a family friend
It doesn’t matter what the animal type
It’s the faithful Love that they can send
Companionship, loyalty, non-judgement
Whatever we share, they give so much more
But all animals have a beginning and an end
Their companionship is what we adore them for

And so we come to the point of these words
The hardest experience one day we all must face
When our nearest and dearest Loved ones pass
Will we be able to abide it with good grace?

The simple, pure beauty of our family and friends
We enrich our lives together, with the pleasures we make
Our Love and companionship is vital life-enhancement
As the emotions invoked bring our Hearts and Souls Awake

“Everything That Has A Beginning Has An End
Make Your Peace With That And All Will Be Well”
The Buddha’s words are an essential principle of life
To enable us, when the time comes to say: ‘Farewell’

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Going Home

Home is the place
We all love to be
Cocooned in its warmth
Our own sanctuary

Shutting out the world
Inner peace we can find
Quiet and stillness
Can impress on our mind

Or playing some music
Lifting our spirit high
Chatting with family
Of the day gone by

Feeding not just our body
But mind and soul too
Doing things we love
Enables us to re-new

Everyone needs slumber
In our own special nest
Safe and secure at home
We get our daily rest

*********

We all have another Home
Where we Truly Love to Be
Cocooned in its Warmth
Our Truest Sanctuary

Another dimensional world
Where Inner Peace we find
Quiet and Stillness
Is our Truest mind

Hearing Heavenly music
Our Spirit raises so High
Catching up with family
Of our lives gone by

Absorbing Love and Light
Truth and Wisdom too
We Know we are Love
We get the Ultimate re-New

Everyone needs slumber
In the quintessential nest
Safe and secure at Home
We get our Lifetime rest

Inspirational Poems About Death:
I Shall Not Altogether Die

Quote Title: Horace

I Am a Being of Light and Love
Sent to this Earth from above
My true self is a Spirit, so high
I Shall Not Altogether Die

I am a part of the Infinite Whole
The Light of God contained in my Soul
I remember this, whatever I try
I Shall Not Altogether Die

No matter which Path in life I choose
I will succeed, I never lose
Lessons are learned, even from a lie
I Shall Not Altogether Die

I came here to always do my best
Sometimes it seems life is a test
But it matters not if I laugh, or cry
I Shall Not Altogether Die

Love and joy are my goals, while I’m here
Following my intuition, it becomes so clear
These are the treasures, so in Bliss, I sigh
I Shall Not Altogether Die

Loved ones leave, as I know they must
Although I grieve, with Faith I trust
Our Love will unite us, that is why
I Shall Not Altogether Die

One day my body will cease to be
But I know that’s not the end of me
I’ll be Aware when my passing is nigh
I Shall Not Altogether Die

My Soul will journey on, and on
Through many lives and bodies I’ll don
My Spirit growing as the times go by
I Shall Not Altogether Die

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Love Is Eternal

Our lives are Blessed with Loved ones
Which makes it harder to bear
When they are taken from our sides
And are no longer there

We miss their smile, their warmth, their Love
And sink deeper into our grief
We’re told that time will heal the pain
But still there is no relief

At quiet times we may feel their presence
But pass it off with a rebuff
We think that our minds are playing tricks
As if we’re not suffering enough

The key to it all is an ‘open mind’
With this you’ll know the way
If your mind is open you’re willing to be
Ready to accept miracles each day

Our Loved ones are not that far away
Although it can be hard to believe
Just reach out with your thoughts and Love
And be open for the gifts you’ll receive

Love is eternal, it never dies
When we pass, it’s all we can take
The Love we share is never lost
The bond will never break

Inspirational Poems About Death:
New Earth: Life Graduation

This poem is from my New Earth collection.
I (and others) believe we are in an evolutionary time on our planet. We are ridding our world of the negativity that has dominated our past and are entering a 'New Age' of enlightenment where Love, Light & Peace will dominate. Changing from 3D to 5D is another description. These poems are intentionally written from the 5D perspective.

In the old Earth energies
Death was ever sad
Whatever age or cause
Passing was viewed bad

In the 3D reality
Dying was something to fear
Grief and so much sorrow
For those lost, held so dear

In the days gone by
Funerals marked the date
Somber and at great cost
Memories etched to hate

In the old Earth energies
Life’s end was a full stop
Unfulfilled, with so much to do
Leaving so many Hearts to drop

*********

In the New Earth energies
Death is ever Love
Whatever age or cause
Passing is viewed from above

In the 5D reality
Dying is something to see
As choice, so much to celebrate
For those released and so free

In the days ever forward
Celebrations mark the date
Joyful and simple in style
Memories etched so great

In the New Earth energies
Life’s end is a Graduation
Fulfilling all for this present life
Returning Home our destination

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Parent's Love: Always With You

I am blessed as my parents are still here. My mother has faith in life after death, but my father is not so sure, this poem was written for him.

No matter how long ago
Days, months, or many years
Their presence no longer in your life
Can bring some sadness and tears

But also, a tear of joy can fall
As you fondly reminisce
The Love you so dearly felt
Embraced, or a tender kiss

Or maybe they didn’t demonstrate
Their Love, with words or touch
But in your Heart you know the truth
They Loved you, so very much

You were their pride and their joy
All through your young childhood
And as you grew into an adult
Their inner-reflection, now stood

For you are linked in many ways
Not only through your DNA
But the Love and nurture that you felt
Remains in your Heart today

They may have left the physical
But their Energy of Love remains
Walking with you through your life
With all its joys and pains

With you through the celebrations
Births, weddings, and birthdays
Often caught in photographs
As energy orb displays

With you in the quiet times
When they pop into your mind
Wanting to bring you inner peace
Their Love, you can always find

With you when your Heart aches
And when you can take no more
They know you’ll heal in time
Because their Love is in your core

With you at times of success
Proud to be the parent of you
Throughout all your milestones and goals
They were there, to see you through

With you in times of trouble
Worry, stress, and strife
Their compassion and support
Always with you, through your life

For we are not just physical
But Eternal Beings of Love
Growing through our Earthly lives
Linked always below and above

Sharing and experiencing all of life
With our Soul group, we walk
And if we open-up our Heart
To the other side we can talk

Always with you… in your Heart
Always with you… every day
Always with you… in Loving Energy
Always with you… they will stay

Always with you, and especially
They await your presence above
One day in time you’ll be together
To reminisce your lives of Love

They will be there on that day
Excited to embrace, and you’ll see
When you transition to the other side
They were always with you, in Love Energy

Inspirational Poems About Death:
Stillborn

Dedicated to Bailey Graves
stillborn 7th March 2017

The devastation that you bear
Causing your Heart to rip and tear
I know there’s nothing I can say
That can take this pain away

The reason for this parting you don’t know
At times life can hit with a mighty blow
Wrenching deep down into your core
Changing your life forever more

In the days, months, and years ahead
Through tumultuous emotions you’ll be lead
In time acceptance will seep through
Knowing there was nothing you could do

All I can hope is that you feel
The Love that can help you heal
From so many close, and far
Who care about how you are

Our thoughts, Love and prayers are with you
Though there’s nothing physical we can do
So we all embrace you in pure Love
To help protect you like a glove

Your precious little one
Who’s physical life never begun
Will always be in your Heart
And you’ll never be apart

I would like to share with you
My beliefs, though you might think untrue
In time, the words I hope will bring
A ‘Light’ to ease your suffering

You felt their presence in the womb
Just as though they were in the room
Their core essence you could feel
Spiritual energy is truly real

We are Spiritual Beings first, and bodies last
When on this Earth a spell is cast
To make us forget the plans we made
With other Souls, a Path we laid

Your special little Angel agreed with you
To bring an experience, so raw and true
Of the sanctity of a non-physical life
That would at first cut you like a knife

You both knew you would always share
A connection, though they wouldn’t be there
Living the life you envisioned and planned
Through pregnancy, before death played its hand

Your dreams of happiness were crushed
As this tragedy unfolded and rushed
Into the depths of your very Being
To change forever your way of seeing

Sadly, some never wade the loss and grief
Pinning for years with little relief
Turning to addictions to ease the pain
Looking for answers and reasons to blame

Others, though hurting and feeling the loss
Know they have the courage and support to cross
The bridge over the river of perpetual sorrow
Glimpsing there’s always a brighter tomorrow

They know their Angel will travel on
Growing in Spirit, but never ‘gone’
Always hearing every thought and prayer
Throughout their ‘lives’ they continue to share

The limit of sight should never be
A definition of reality
Your little one is never far away
Although you can’t see them here today

It is through an uplifted, Loving heart
That it is possible to even start
Connecting a stronger Spiritual link
It’s all to do with the way you think

In your dreams, in bed at night
You can visit the world of Light
And hold your precious little one
Until the dawning of the sun

I believe your Path is the most difficult there is to face
With not even minutes of a life to treasure and retrace
So I send my Love, Light, Blessings and Prayers to you
Asking Heavenly Assistance to guide you through

Inspirational Poems About Death:
The Dead Don't Die
They Look On And Help

Quote Title: D H Lawrance

‘The dead don’t die’
They are with us always
It’s just their physicality
That no longer stays

Removing their overcoat
The body, on Earth so dense
Now they’re free to expand
In Spirit, so Divinely intense

With no limits of time
Or a single location to be
With dimensional shifting
They are ultimately free

From their Higher Dimension
They watch us over our days
And send Unconditional Love
With it’s Light-Healing rays

Our beliefs shape our reality
So believe it to be true
They’re not gone from our lives
And can easily contact you

If that’s a hard stretch
For you to conceive
Just open your mind
To the ability to perceive

You don’t need to see them
Or hear them speak to know
It’s with thoughts and feelings
Their presence will easily show

Or maybe a chance encounter
That seems to be fate
Even words or a picture
Can open up your gate

Slowly, but surely
They can guide your way
If you allow the possibility
They are with you today!

“The dead don’t die
They look on and help,” always
Giving us Loving wisdom & strength
To live Joyfully through our days

Inspirational Poems About Death:
The Timing Of Your Death
Is Always Chosen By You

Quote Title: Abraham-Hicks

We are all born into this life
Not knowing how long it will be
But would we truly desire to know
If granted the length to see?

Before we came we made a choice
Of when our life would end
Fitting in with our Spiritual Path
United with family and friend

Together we made a pact
To challenge, grow, inspire
Aiming to expand our Souls
Each lifetime raising Higher

Oneness in eternal growth
Love and Light our essence, core
Agreeing to help each other
Before we enter through Earth’s door

Being in truth, complete Love and Light
We have to bury it very deep
If we want to allow another Soul
To flow the Love they keep

In a world of Light and dark
Contract enables choice
Freewill is given to all
Will we heed our Spirit voice?

It’s easy for us to understand
Someone giving in, and letting go
When faced with pain and disease
Releasing to the Eternal Flow

It’s hard to let them go
But we know they couldn’t stay
So with Love and heavy Heart
We Bless them on their way

But someone who suddenly dies
From unknown illness, or injury
Comes as a great shock
Causing us pain and misery

If it’s from another’s hands
The negativity can gain hold
It takes great strength to perceive
The Higher Truth, to unfold

There are no accidents
Most is as we once planned
Together we worked it out
In our Home, a beautiful land

Freewill means that some
From their Path will maybe stray
Twists and turns of fate
Sends them down the wrong way

But guidance is always there
Especially when asleep at night
Adjustments made to bring about
The conclusions that are right

Even a baby never born
Into an actual physical life
Made the choice to ‘die’
Growth can flow from strife

The parents and the baby
Agreed to share the tale
Always United in Spirit
All-Knowing beyond the veil

The passing of a child
Is the greatest tragedy
We should never take for granted
There presence here to be

Every life is precious
Every Soul Heaven sent
Now is the only time we have
To show pure Love, our core intent

Inspirational Poems About Death:
The Tree That Spoke

Oh, the things I have felt
For over a hundred years
From bountiful joys of nature
To the sorrow of human tears

When I was first planted here
There wasn’t much else around
A field of grass, some trees like me
A few upright stones on the ground

As I grew tall and strong
Yielding as each season passed
The people came and went
Always mournful and downcast

My wisdom grew with time
As my roots delved into the Earth
I also connected to the sun above
All-That-Is pronounced my worth

The ever-flowing abundant life
Birds, foliage, butterflies, bees
Most people never-ever noticed
Oh, please! BEHOLD us trees

We are the inherent Guardians of Earth
Filtering and providing more than they see
The original network, our roots underground
We may seem static, but we are truly free

The empty field that once surrounded my youth
Is now filled with hundreds of stones
Becoming more ornate over the years
But still, just mark the position of bones

I absorb the waves of sadness that flow
From the people visiting a stone
If they let me, I can help them
For we are One and never alone

I sense the Spirit of their Loved one
They block the energy by thinking them gone
My leaves whisper the truth on the breeze
‘They are beside you, they do live on’

Inspirational Poems About Death:
The Veil To All Knowledge

From where do we come from?
And at death, where do we go?
These are the questions in life
That we all want to know

‘Is there a God out there?’ we ask
At times of suffering and woe
‘How can He let these things happen to us
If He truly Loves us so?’

Unconditional Love is the key
To unlock the mysteries of time
God Loves us Unconditionally
No matter what our crime

We have free-will to do what we like
We decide how we want to live
We can do no wrong in God’s eyes
There is no sin that God won’t forgive

This is very difficult for most to understand
It doesn’t fit in with what we have been told
We’re taught that God is to be feared - so don’t sin
Do as they say, your life has to fit the mould

But we are all individuals
Our lives aren’t supposed to be the same
What’s good for one person, might not be for another
And nobody is to blame

If we could just learn to Love as God
Unconditionally to all
We would know the answers to life and death
The Veil To All Knowledge would fall

Inspirational Poems About Death:
We Are Just Walking Each Other Home

Quote Title: Ram Dass

It’s a well-known way to view life
As a ‘Path’ we all must take
The Path can be rough or smooth
Depending on choices we make

We can travel on our track alone
Or with a close and trusted friend
There presence gives us support
As we navigate the dips and bends

Varied Loved ones will accompany us
Along the majority of our life Path
The Love we share gives us direction
The Joy, Lightens our way as we laugh

But where does this Pathway begin?
And where does it go to, and end?
Or is it a vast circular Highway
We want to know, to comprehend

I believe the two points are the same
From Source we arrive at our birth
Wandering along to find our own route
The reason we decided to come to Earth

Experiencing the joys and the beauty
Giving Unconditional Love to one-and-all
Discovering our unique gift to share
Is the true Path we all came here for

Sharing our Love and our gifts
With any who join us on our roam
Enlightenment comes to let us know
We Are Just Walking Each Other Home

Inspirational Poems About Death:
We Only Part To Meet Again (1)

Quote Title: John Gay

When my time comes to leave
I really do, truly believe
The goodbyes may be hard, but then
We Only Part To Meet Again

I will leave my overcoat behind
No use to me anymore because I’ll find
Expansion, Freedom, Unlimited Love
When my Spirit is released to the above

It might be easier for you to think of me
As gone on a journey across the sea
To a far away land as in times gone by
Before inventions enabled us to fly

Although we won’t be able to phone
You can still reach me when you’re alone
In Love and Peace, Uplifted in your Heart
It will be as though we were never apart

Have an uplifted open mind, and I’ll be there
The Energy of Love means we can share
Think of what to say to me, and you will find
I can talk to you through thoughts in your mind

Remember me by the Love we share
And know for you I always deeply care
Our Love goes on through all Eternity
So together forever we will always be

Inspirational Poems About Death:
We Only Part To Meet Again (2)

Quote Title: John Gay

The very first time we had to depart
We don’t remember, but it’s deep in our heart
We left our true Home up above
Coming to Earth to create Joy and Love

All too soon, as a child we face the loss
Our parents leave us and we get cross
It’s a vital early lesson, we learn then
We Only Part To Meet Again

As the years go by, friendships do too
Some people have many, others a few
Romances are another tug at the Heart
When often we have to be apart

Leaving our parents is a parting we make
It’s a difficult step for each side to take
Mothers especially feel the loss, but then
We Only Part To Meet Again

All these partings that through life go on
Show us that we can survive, and be strong
Separating can hurt for a time, but we must
Let go and move on, in Faith and Trust

All of us one day will make the journey back
Leaving our bodies, no clothes to pack
They’ll be rejoicing from many in Heaven when
We Only Part To Meet Again

Inspirational Poems About Death:
What Strikes The Oyster
Does Not Damage The Pearl

Quote Title: Rumi

Whatever happens to the oyster
The pearl is safe inside
Continuing to develop
It’s beauty to be magnified

And when the day comes
For the pearl to be set free
It’s magnificent iridescence
Revealed for all to see

We are like an oyster
Within, our beauty lies
Our connection to Source
Is our glorious prize

Our Soul cannot be damaged
Whatever strikes our life
It continues to develop
Throughout all peace & strife

And when our last day comes
Our Soul to be set free
It’s exquisite Divineness
Will continue on to Be

Inspirational Poems About Death:
While We Are Sleeping
Angels Have Conversations With Our Souls

Quote Title: Unknown

While we are sleeping
We let go of physicality
To experience our true form
Of Spirit, unlimited and free
We can go anywhere at all
With no limits of time, or space
Explore our magnificent Universe
Or our past-lives, we can re-trace

While we are sleeping
The concept of time disappears
Losing all of its boundaries
Only to the physical it adheres
After closing our eyes to sleep
It seems only minutes have gone by
When many hours later we awaken
And adapt to times apparent lie

While we are sleeping
The door is open wide
To step through, and appreciate
The world on the other side
Our Spirit leaves our body
Resting peacefully in our bed
We’re attached by a silver cord
It only breaks when we are dead

While we are sleeping
Our true self guides the way
We regain our pure perspective
And digest the current day
Although plentiful things transpire
Remembering only happens to a few
But just because we have forgotten
Doesn’t mean it isn’t true

While they are sleeping
Those nearing their life’s end
Are making preparations
To more easily comprehend
The letting go of this world
And moving on to better things
They are more likely to remember
The messages ‘sleeping’ brings

While we are sleeping
We can visit those we Love
Here, or those departed
Transitioned to the Above
Sometimes we can recall
A ‘dream’ of those who’ve died
Our Love unites us forever
Meeting eases tears we’ve cried

While we are sleeping
Some give assistance in many ways
Helping others make their transition
At the ending of their days
Or being with someone who’s down
Needing an uplifting smile that’s all
We are all linked together
Supporting each other forevermore

While they are sleeping
Babies bask in Spirituality
New to physical restrictions
Their Souls requisite to be free
Growing so fast requires sleep
As their minds and bodies change
Over years time works its wonders
And sleeping patterns rearrange

While we are sleeping
Our body’s cells all adjust
Unhindered by limiting thoughts
It’s why sleeping is a must
Our bodies can miraculously heal
And sleep plays a crucial part
In recovery from disease or wounds
To mind, body, and emotional Heart

While we are sleeping
We connect to our Higher-Self
And can take the opportunity
To assess our abundant wealth
In the multiple aspects of life
Our goal is to constantly do our best
Our Higher-Self knows the plan
Enlightening us when we’re at rest

While we are sleeping
Our Guides are always there
To support and give assistance
Because they truly care
They chose to be with us
For our life here on this Earth
Always giving Loving guidance
Before and since our birth

While we are sleeping
Heavenly Angels gather around
Pure, Divine Beings of Light
To us mortals they are bound
Giving constant Unconditional Love
Helping us reach our goals
So, While We Are Sleeping
Angels Have Conversations With Our Souls
