will phoenix still rise
if ashes are scattered wide
or death claim victim?

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
witty one.
An interesting question! Does it matter, I wonder, that ashes become whole or are they only signs of the physical! The spiritual is quite another matter!
Yes. It does give reason to wonder, Gemma. Spiritual is afterlife. Ashes are in this life. Quite thoughtful I think! 🙂
Thanks, Vivi! 🙂
Death ( or 'scatter' ) are meant to rise up again, aren't they ? Perhaps, they won't be visible to the naked eye ..

Of course he will rise in my opinion!! Once you are done on this earth, you have repaid all your debts, repented and at peace, so the only place is to rise upward from dust to a higher life or better place whichever (rebirth or heaven). What do you think Leo?? There is no place like hell!! It is here on earth and we create it ourselves!!

Thought provoking stuff! We all return to whence we came, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. However, I think the ashes are what is left to show after the purification by fire… therefore the Phoenix will rise again!Here's hoping!

This got me thinking- a lot. What if a person isn't burned, but rather, buried? *Sorry if I'm on a different wavelength :PNice header btw =)

Even then.. if the remains are spread through the ground after decay, will the soul reborn or will it not? Glad u liked the header, Rosh.

Wonderful thought.. the ashes may collect together and re-form.. its not the body that reforms.. the soul so I guess when tat is scattered there is no way out!!

Good thoughts, Krishnapriya 🙂 Thanks for sharing it. I like that it is the soul and the pieces can merge after also.
