POEM_: Death?

Death?

Dogmas die.
Why worry
that mine will too?
Just like myself.

No form survives
forever.
And with forms, go
their ideas.

With me
or shortly thereafter
my doctrines
will be reduced
to historical curiosities.
Or less.

Why desire
a mirage?
Why ask for
a security
that is unachievable?
I must stop
pandering to my fear.
Look, I must,
change in the eye.

Accept, I must,
my transformation
into forms unimaginable.

Realize, I must,
the Unity of Becoming.
