I feel so cold…
Satin waters caress my body
Skin licked by a cold flame
Sinking deeper into oblivion
Eyes colored ebony

What a sweet song…
The memory of a life once lived
My breath floats away
The color and beauty of the world
Is carried with it

The music begins a crescendo
And in this moment
I am unified

Gazing with starlit eyes
I say goodbye to the world I live in
To the harmonies of love and suffering
To the chorus of nature

I say adieu to the wonder of the world
To curiosity
My essence trapped in tiny buoyant bubbles

I realize this moment I feared for so long
Is the most breathtaking moment of life
I feel life ending in a triumphant symphony
In a swift dance, a waltz, a lullaby

With a gracious gesture
I wave my hand goodbye
I close my eyes
I am devoid of pain

I am finally whole
