Crematorium

The ugly building

Supposed to milden the devastating perils of the destruction of the body of a loved one ; or unloved one.

Or perhaps, it is not a destruction . Perhaps it is merely the transition from body to dust ( from dust , to nothing).

For how are we to proceed? Knowingly pacing the wooden floors that the person you once called ' dad' is perished , gone only to the foreign lands , far away to the sky .

Amidst the trees , that is where their eyes will once again meet , and that is far to future , and far to the past. It is only how we perceive such death that affects us. Negatively . Positively . It is a deduction from the world , a gain to the stars. Death is not a pity. Death is a rebirth.
