Standing Quietly

It goes away in the end
It blows away in the wind
Everything you know,
everything you love
will die

Letting the air out of a balloon
Letting go of a balloon on a cloudy day
Puncturing a balloon with a sharp object
Letting go of a balloon on a clear day...
Letting go of a balloon...
Watch it fade into the sky

Resources depleted,
we can no longer stay here
We must begin the search
for a new frontier
We'll look to the stars,
find a blue world
Loved ones will die, we'll stay young
Traveling close to the speed of light

Getting plenty of sleep
will provide you with the strength you need
My body is not at peak performance
My eyesight is not what it once was
My mind is working slower and slower
My skin hangs loosely,
draped over sagging shoulders
Fading features flake away,
peeling like rust and paint
(Growing old)
Bones break like brittle branches
of fallen trees
I will fall eventually
without the strength to stand back up
(takes a long time...)

From this vantage I can see
a vast distance
My resolve will not break
My commitment will not fade
I have seen the result
in my dreams, I have seen
Tiny mirrors reflect a light
I'd like to find the source of this light
I've looked (I've looked)
I've tried (for the)
I've spent (source of)
my time (this light)
I'd like (I've tried)
to find (to find)
the source of (the source)
I've tried
I've tried
I won't let this die
I won't give up hope
Not now, not ever
From this vantage I can see
a vast distance
I can see

How will we find our way
back to this plane?
Step beyond thresholds
let yourself renew
Leap beyond thresholds
let yourself renew
Feel your body dissipate,
a castle made of sand
Let yourself disintegrate
Become environment
Release yourself
Release yourself
Go home
Even as you watch,
I am fleeing
I am fleeing
Even as you watch
|

Lost in the indifferent distance
a place where darkness becomes a bright light
Suspended falling, rest unbound
With my eyes closed,
I still see a splendid light
For one brief, fleeting moment
a great sense of calm

65 Lifetimes of Being

Into the unknown,
Into the blue
I am not afraid
Weightless
Aimless
Ageless
I feel a great sense of relief
I'm approaching the horizon
without trepidation,
without a second thought
I have no fear,
I have no doubt
I am reaching
Never Ending
