Voices

Untied from the world
Cut loose
Floating away
Disappearing into a pinpoint
The wind whispers, "Not yet. Come back. Come back. Come back..."

Magnetic
All pulled to you
Wanting to click into place
Stretching thin, grasping
A small voice, "You can't force it. Let go. Let go. Let go..."

Memories
Nothing tangible
Fading with each passing moment
Heart beats, "They're yours. Remember. Remember. Remember..."

Reluctant tears

Consoling and sad that nothing here is forever
Yet ever-beautiful in the time given

A short walk to the end
Through a foggy maze
Truth informs, "Enjoy, but you can't stay. You can't stay. You can't stay..."

Chin up

Head high
Sing a song
Arms wide, 

Deep breath

Look inside 

Bittersweet beauty
Somber pleasure 

Free and untethered
To one day awaken into eternity. 

What then?

You already know. "Listen. Listen. Listen."
