@friulano death is a worm hole devouring all matter hear

our souls flight then to mystery sphere

by faith to when we go like it or not all drawn in regardless to our wish or want

but faith propels our good alignment

and hope affords us credit of want

[NaaraxHatake]

The sonnet speaks truth.

[friulano]

Death is the end of all and there's nothing after this life. Even so we must be human beings and not just animals. It is easy to' be' saints when we believe in the afterlife. It's much more difficult when there's no hope of future life. Neverthless let's try to' be "saints".

death is an illusion. we are immortal beings.  it's a pity we've forgotten that.

Istill remember this so profound.Basically the meaning is death do not boast or brag, because even the smallest things can kill us

[aforalice]

The most basic point of the poem is that because of Jesus' resurrection human beings never really die, but live eternally in heaven after death and thus it is the existence (or at least power) of death that has died.
