詩意43

She died - this was the way she died

And when her breath was done

Took up her simple wardrobe

And started for the sun

Her little figure at the gate

The Angels must have spied

Since I could never find her

Upon the mortal side

她逝世於此道上

當她停止了呼吸

提起她簡單行囊

並開始走向太陽

她的微軀在門口

天使必已察覺到

因我永無發現她

在凡塵人世這邊

默想

約伯記34：15「凡有血氣的就必一同死亡；世人必仍歸塵土。」人不願意聽到死亡，因著懼怕，或因著不捨。但無可避免，不知何時何地，死就是虎視眈眈地埋伏在我們面前。試著想那死門的另一邊，唯有用信心接受上帝與天使在彼處；不然﹑死是何等悲哀！
