*Find your abundance, your radiance, your nourishment, For in you lives a God or a Goddess lying dormant. Be reverenced – that is the key of life - Dance on your grave in your own behalf. Do not live in fear for fear is like death. Fear will return you to the soil without a breath. That death, a compost for the new generation. We hold the key to eternity in our outstretched hand. Be courageous and face yourself and be annihilated By your own light – your love – and be not rested For rest is a kind of death absent of your essence. Whatever death can take it will take – so be salient And find that which is unborn and undying. Life will knock seven times at the door to your heart, Searching for the indestructible part of you to impart. We are the King and the Queen of our own desires. Dancing together with the world as our Kingdom’s choirs. Rejoice in the world for here we are - we have come. Let laughter be the nature of our bodies’ home. A home where laughter defies death and love defies reason – There our consciousness sits broadened By the dance we dance – forcing death to be dethroned.*

Defy Death
*Find your abundance, your radiance, your nourishment, For in you lives a God or a Goddess lying dormant. Be reverenced – that is the key of life - Dance on your grave in your own behalf. Do not live in fear for fear is like death. Fear will return you to the soil without a breath. That death, a compost for the new generation. We hold the key to eternity in our outstretched hand. Be courageous and face yourself and be annihilated By your own light – your love – and be not rested For rest is a kind of death absent of your essence. Whatever death can take it will take – so be salient And find that which is unborn and undying. Life will knock seven times at the door to your heart, Searching for the indestructible part of you to impart. We are the King and the Queen of our own desires. Dancing together with the world as our Kingdom’s choirs. Rejoice in the world for here we are - we have come. Let laughter be the nature of our bodies’ home. A home where laughter defies death and love defies reason – There our consciousness sits broadened By the dance we dance – forcing death to be dethroned.*
I have defied death no less than twice in my life and in some ways I defy it daily. Yet death I do not fear. Neither should you.
