How Will It End?
will i smile
with a sigh of relief
will the imprints of my footsteps
remain on this earthly ground
will the souls
that i left behind
be nourished by my paterns
the left-over debris
the pieces of grace
that i gently bequeath
beneath my feet
will they forget to remember
my compassion
my love
my strength
how the tides
running across my chest
were my billions of tears
that rippled with
their sorrow
their anquish
their joy
will they remember to forget
the dark clouds
with gray mist
that sometimes saturated my soul
will their wounds heal
from my passing energy
knowing
that my abiding love
will transcend
deep into their hearts
like heat from the eternal sun
finally
will it end where it began
in our nakedness
with no boundaries to fight
translucent light
our mortality lifted
into the thrones of enlightenment
infinite beings
echoes vibrating
all speaking
the same voice
