“Al Mumit”- THE GIVER OF DEATH

For Madeline – 9.5.2012

Like the old Hebrew “Mawet”

And the Arabic “Mawt”

Both translated as death

Imply not an end as we commonly understand

But a transformation

Like happens throughout our lives

Love comes and goes and dear ones depart

One image replaces another and concepts change

Need to change

“Mumit” is our silent helper in these times

Starting with the M of formed and fluid existence

To the U of HIS power to transform

To another form M

and using the I of divine life energy

we reach T, the goal

Which only opens into something else

and so goes on and on life

Death or liberation?

we are free to choose

say the wise
