Miracles

I'm looking into his eyes,
the
miracle
of
birth,
the
width, of which is unsurmountable
girth, a product of where we are going and where we came,
earth, I pray and hope it blossoms, a life full of piety, and
mirth, even when lifes sadness takes its sway, I hope you still recognize its
worth, despite its transcience and spiritual
dearth, I pray you find it at last

peace, for the next miracle comes racing fast

the miracle of death

Tribute to words of wisdom gleaned from Islam (the person). We were discussing the miracle of birth, the journey of innocence into this world, and the miracle of death; the inscrutable journey, that we shall all traverse--allowing the prospect of life to cycle through generations to come, for innocence to find its way. Death is a matter of Life. Birth and Death, both thought provoking 'miracles' that enrich our sense of being and ground us back into the grips of reality.

Death is a matter of life you say...

I question, Life is it not a matter of death?

Prepare prepare for death shall not spare...

I see what you mean. Death is a matter of life, as in it is the most inevitable characteristic of life. Life is more than just death, and the object of life isn't merely the preparation for death.

I believe no amount of preparation will actually prepare one for death, and really it is not death we ought to prepare for, but life.

At the risk of sounding too illusory or ideal,
i imagine death can be graceful, death can be beautiful, if and only one accepts its inevitability and has lived a life of fullness and content.

I don't know whether or not you concede of an afterlife. If you do then perhaps you may look at Life as matter of Death, in the sense that life culminates at death and journeys into another.

ill spare you any further rambles :)

So, life is a matter of life ?

We live it in search of contentment, but with the presence of sincerity and the sense for justice, death can become only a reminder that comes from time to time to help us find the way if we go off track. However, death is not something that comes after life only, we experience it while alive. Life and death are merged into one another. So since I’ve already interfered in your philosophical ponderings let me just say that life is a matter of life AND death!
no more rambles from my side too :P

Short life is a 'matter'(or 'preparation') of an almost infinite life, yes .

Death(or the magic click) is finally what allows us to get to that almost endless life.
