Beyond Questions
Will a spirit fly when freed or,
may it linger at death’s closed door,
listening, peeping through the keyhole?
Watch funeral, hear eulogies,
or flee from sad faces and tears,
does a spirit still have a heart?
Do the dead rush with warm welcome
when a spirit newly arrives,
are reunions always happy?
If a spirit may sleep, can dreams
transmit positive messages
to console the living who mourn?
