I read Belle Wassermeister's poem 'Poor Mary' and it made reference to this poem, so I came here to read it. When I got here, I discovered that I HAVE read it before, and even put it on my favorites!

How, "death makes us part", is a misnomer…. When we love one another, nothing makes us part.

Such a wonder of words; a soul allowed to shine forth, briefly. The Mystery of life ever moves onward.

I got all choked up reading this poem. I've had some somewhat similar experiences. In my near-death experience poem SOUL'S JOURNEY PARTS I - V, I write about them. Please read to have a better understanding. In all sincerity, Grace I wish for your outstanding poem to be chosen as POD!
