I have seen the end of all things
The end of years
The end of light
Of eros.
The sun and moon vanish into oblivion
People fade into nothing
The very air disappears.
The chains on my wrists and ankles
Become dust lost in the dark.
I am free but for what?
There is nothing around me
No food to sustain me nor water for my thirst
The earth beneath my feet gives way
And I fall, forever falling.
Crying out for help nothing is heard
Sound does not exist, only silence
My mind is on the brink of madness
I cannot comprehend this absolute
For eons or moments, time stands still
I remember the life I have lived
That keeps the madness at bay.
Everything passes before my eyes
With excruciating lethargy the memories come
Nothing forgotten
Pain, love, warmth and cold
External and internal
Friends and enemies
Childhood to old age. |
