Poetic ASMR's video: Poetic ASMR - When Death Comes Whispered poem with tapping sounds

Hi there 😌 Today's poem is called "When Death Comes" by Mary Oliver with tapping sounds in the background. Although it's a poem about death, I find it to be a rather encouraging piece of poetry. "When Death Comes" by Mary Oliver: When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me, and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence, and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth. When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world © Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, 1992.
