Timeless
Timeless
And her fighting slowly weakened
She was tired, and she knew
As she thought about surrendering
Curiosity too grew
She was suddenly less frightened
Actually, she felt relief
All the more with every minute
And against her own belief
Where had gone the fear and terror?
Why was there now so much peace?
She felt like she’d found the fountain
Like she finally got the keys
And the feeling overtook her
With a last breath drawn real deep
She most gently and with beauty
Gave in to this timeless sleep.
