I've always wondered how I'd meet my end


craven and bleached clutching a sheet

paralyzed by fear of non-existence

wistful and relieved as darkness fell

revealing an ancient light that measured no time

shining behind the facade of night


or maybe downright happy

to shed the heavy flesh and to move without moving

through every aspect of ordinary daily living

free to be closer to loved ones even if they cannot see you


or there's no thing there afterward not even consciousness

but I wonder in vain since the moment will fall and the time ended

regardless of how I imagine my exit or predict when it will come


despite your hurry it will come on time for you...
