Eternity

Death came around and claimed me

My body thus cold and forlorn

The end sudden and desperate

Never to see or hear or feel or taste or touch

All words left unspoken

Akin to the rocks now

Never to share love or laughs again

Finding my way to the void

Floating

Seeing so much that could have been

Angry about much that was

Leaving the Earth that was home

For parts unknown

Gliding

Hoping to find the light

Otherwise lost

Beginning to understand forever

And never

And how inextricably they are linked

Consciousness an interesting concept

For those who are now particles of dust

Free at long last

Happy to have lived

Sad at the ending of it

Now knowing nothing

Not even a soft sigh
