I see the vision of my soul
A breath, a glimpse as pure as gold
The light illuminates my mind
And in your tender love I enfold

I close my eyes to better see
My heart is open, lips are sealed
Right to my inner higher place
Where new perspectives are revealed

In the innermost part of my being
I pray to let go of any resistance
And I feel such peace washing over me
As I recognize love behind all existence

Scatter the ashes that have become steady flesh
Before someone collects them to bury the remains in a false cemetery
Scatter them quickly into the flowing rivers and high up in the skies
I am parallel to their world; I am the closest to death

Ligaments and veins that was once compelling
Supreme yet a puppet to garrulous demons
An artistic treasure box of limited oxygen
Fell victim to powerless witnesses that chose to keep their silence

When our bodies collapse and our hearts expire
Revive my breath with visitations and flowers
Although I am now a river and a turbid sky
I am parallel to your world yet I am right here by your side

n.j.

I sink deep into your eyes
There I found
An ocean of flaming bright lights
Infinite galaxies to explore
More and more reasons for me to adore
You and your stars
The universe and its crimes
And how they connect with mine
