Face to Face with Eternity

Face to Face with Eternity

To the extent you approach the naked truth loneliness grows within you,
continue your walk toward the deep center of time that slowly transforms you,
don't fear the greatest fear the worst has already happened yesterday,
life will tear you apart again but you have nothing left to lose now.
You are already dead in the living flesh that breathes without feeling pain anymore,
fundamentally you are absent in every moment that passes without touching you anymore,
now you stand face to face with eternity stretched infinitely into the distance,
truth surrounds you with its loneliness dense as morning fog.
Continue your path forward don't stop in your walk toward the unknown,
fear has already happened in the distant past that has always marked you,
life tears you apart in every wound that opens bleeding on skin,
you have nothing more to do with this world you are free from its heavy chains.
Loneliness grows to the extent of your approach to the truth hidden in the depths,
the worst thing has already happened in the moment that passed without return,
you are fundamentally dead in your deepest and always silent core,
eternity watches you with its immense eyes opened wide toward you now.
You approach the center of truth that stands motionless in your empty heart,
your loneliness is filled with the silence of others who abandoned you long ago,
don't fear your greatest courage the worst has already passed,
your life tears you apart with its sharp claws cutting deep into flesh.
You are no longer who you once were you are something else now in the void,
fundamentally you are already dead standing before eternity stretched forever,
continue to walk forward on your long road toward nowhere far away,
truth embraces you with its loneliness cold as old and hard ice.
