The Moment of Truth

I saw a door
towards the end of my suffering
crying out , the one you call 'death'
I remember

I heard a noise,
mumuring , chanting , crying
then nothing , the weak sun flickered
over the dry surface.

Calm but Terrible,
buried in the dark earth
it was over , the stiff earth bending
as I drown in the dark.

I spoke to you,
from the passage of the other world
telling you whatever return from the oblivion returns,
as the moment of truth came , I rest.
