My mind meanders like a river
Through green valleys
Searching fervently for truth
In far distant places
Though I need only look as far as my heart to find both truth and delusion
Too close for comfort
One day these bones will rest in grass, salted by the tears of my family
Serenaded by the wind
Then forgotten like last night’s dream…
I’ll be the harbinger of darkness
Let me bring you the fear that can be found in a handful of dust
What you have to realize
Is that you die every single day
When you lay your head to sleep
And everything disappears
Where do you go?
How do you know?
Are you sad that you have to
End it so soon?
Yes, this is the end
Will you refuse to go back to sleep
Now that you can never wake up again?
Would you have lived your last day differently?
I’ll be the arbiter of time
Our birth is nothing but our death begun
What a ridiculous notion
To hold life so precious
As if it had some intrinsic value
Beyond what is important to us subjectively; instinctively
All we can do is
Enjoy the Means, End suffering
And not dwell on these things too much
Death will blanket us all in the end
