In Peace

-In Peace-

She stares out at the sea, the steppes, the sky~
and her eyes widen with oblivion, knowing,
that this is the precipice, this is the temple~
of the not-yet-living, and the forever-dead...

for there is nothing further than absence,
nothing closer than the boundless absolute,
and these eyes that seek the infinite, 
seek also truth

-In Peace-
