Final Moments
Breath fades thin
A journey begins
An enigma stirs
As consciousness wanes,
a question persists:
Did my voice reach him?
As I read, trembling,
words aflame
Did he hear the love
in the gentle cadence of
my farewell?
Did peace find him,
a fleeting calm,
in those final moments
suspension in time?
Or did he journey into the abyss,
a vast expanse
where reason fades away?
As he drifted to
a boundless realm
between the self
and the infinite,
what did he feel,
a man of earth
who questioned the stars
in waking life?
Perhaps he touched
the silent stars,
felt the universe
cradle his soul,
a paradox of existence,
a hidden bridge
where belief dissolves
into pure being.
In that enigmatic space,
did he find truth?
A sense of oneness
with all that is?
Or was it the silence,
deep and profound,
that held him in
its infinite arms?
Lucy is me,
I am Lucy
