Death
My fading self
Surrenders
To my worst fear.
My wasted body,
Cold like a lifeless stone
In the starless night.
My heart's beating
Has started to stop.
My eyes have closed
To see a new horizon.
The blood in my iced veins
Has taken its last trip!
A force so unspeakable
Sucks me out of my numbed body;
In total surrender I yield.
Like a dove, I soar
Into the vast still damp air
To go on a journey
Beyond the clouds!
I steadily rise
Towards beckoning stars.
Smoothly I slip out of existence.
A gazillion spirits wait to take me.
Their muffled voices
Calling me by name!
I leave mundane pains behind
Like a blind bat
Vacating a wrecked ship
As I glide into
Eternal abyss!
A new dimension beckons.
A new day has come
I must glide out of me
To go on a journey
Beyond the clouds!
