‘There is no death. Those gone before
Have just stepped through an open door
Just passed into a land unseen,
Still near, with just a wall between.
The door may close, the wall conceal,
But nothing’s lost that’s thuly real;
They still are ours, those loved ones, all
They wait for us beyond the wall.’
