Examination at the Womb-Door

Weird yet fascinating poem, I found death to be such a fascinating and mysterious thing since no one knows for sure what goes on beyond it. Do we still live on? Do we reincarnate into someone or something else? I personally don't know but I hope we do. Like Ted Hughes said everything we have is owned by death as we are not eternal beings and we can't live forever. I think this is what Ted is trying to say here, that everything that composes our body is owned by death, since we all have to face it one day, ones sooner than others but we will have to. If you leave something behind, something that everyone will remember you for, of course you will be stronger than death as you will forever live on in your poem, song, invention or whatever you leave behind that leaves a legacy behind for people to remember you.

My thoughts about death are contradictory as I find it amusing and mysterious but I don't actually believe in it, I mean why would believe that all you have fight to achieve will suddenly disappear, that being physically or spiritually. Why believe your whole story and your whole life will end the moment your body stops working?
