A silent scream of loss, of regret,
of losing control, existence,
in our inner self, our identity,
Flowing out of us, pouring,
Becoming perfect, dissolution…
into a great unknown…
Like tears in rain, waters intermingled,
melting, sharing, dissolving, dispersing,
moments, lost in oblivion, in minutes,
falling into nothingness, union,
Who we were in life…
seemingly Lost in time...
Our lives, our memories, our essence,
becoming part of a vast ocean, water,
the pool of the universe, matter,
of time and infinite space,
An expiration date, a release…
Eternity, a pool deep, profound...
Like tears in rain, waters intermingled,
melting, sharing, dissolving, dispersing,
moments, lost in oblivion, in minutes,
falling into nothingness, union,
Who we were in life…
seemingly Lost in time...
One with the living waters, blending,
a place of peace and happiness,
Eternity, an ocean, spreading,
perfect dilution, immortality -
Heaven, becoming eternal…
one with the universe…
When it is our time to die…
