Death is a Wedding Day

 Death Is a Wedding Day
Rumi says:
On the day I die, don’t weep.
Don’t say she’s gone/he’s gone.
Death has nothing to do with going away....
The moon sets and the sun sets,
but they’re not gone.
Death is a coming together.
The human seed goes down into the ground
like a bucket,
and come up with some unimaginable beauty!
Your mouth closes here
and immediately opens
with a shout of joy there!
