"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a Clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontory were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."
- John Donne

Dimensions
We dread the immortal unknown, Because we cannot grasp its reality. God does not seek to pacify us, Or destroy who we are, But to clarify, purify and intensify All that we were meant to be.
I wouldn't have been able to guess what three words prompted this piece without knowing ahead of time, which is the real challenge of the exercise. Everything flowed so well, and the message is great. Thought-provoking poem. I enjoyed it.

Well said about what is before us or what will be after this life Carina.
But as believers in God, we have the assurance that we will have a beautiful life after this life on earth in His bosom!
So let us not fear the immortal unknown!
That was my point, Amity. =)
What a lovely read. Thank you.
