Our perception of the dead
The Dead

![]() Recognized |
This is another poem I wrote around the time my father passed away and questions about death and the promise of the resurrection leapt to the forefront of my mind. I wrote a short story about this too, called Door into the Dark. Death really is the door into the dark; we really don't know what happens when we die. Our perception of the dead is born from our interaction with them while they lived. It is like a stone in a stream. The dead are now in that stream, moving on. To hold onto what is no longer here brings to mind one of Christ's sayings: "Let the dead bury their dead. As for you, seek the kingdom of God." and "The one who believes in me will live, even thought they die; and the one who lives his life believing in me will never die." estory
