Conversing with Death herself humbled me Scene: There’s a tranquil garden in my dreams An endless array of beauty Something like a rainbow in the distance But not quite, there are a few colors missing Maybe that’s just my eyes You never notice the beauty within the fingertips of a loved one Like a scene from a Wes Anderson film Beautiful in every context created by the human emotion Mother I’m going to be alright “You’re dying” Mother I’m going to be alright A bed of amaryllis petals lay the ground to which I sleep But Death She seemed to say something like a whisper “Not today, child” Mother I’m going to be alright And passing suns illuminate my fingertips The veins of my body blue like the vast sea A never-ending scene of ethereal elegance And a steady heartbeat Mother I’m going to be alright

Til Death
Conversing with Death herself humbled me Scene: There’s a tranquil garden in my dreams An endless array of beauty Something like a rainbow in the distance But not quite, there are a few colors missing Maybe that’s just my eyes You never notice the beauty within the fingertips of a loved one Like a scene from a Wes Anderson film Beautiful in every context created by the human emotion Mother I’m going to be alright “You’re dying” Mother I’m going to be alright A bed of amaryllis petals lay the ground to which I sleep But Death She seemed to say something like a whisper “Not today, child” Mother I’m going to be alright And passing suns illuminate my fingertips The veins of my body blue like the vast sea A never-ending scene of ethereal elegance And a steady heartbeat Mother I’m going to be alright
From a near death experience
