'After attaining Me the great souls do not incur rebirth, the impermanent home of misery, because they have attained the highest perfection.' -Bhagavad Gita

                                       

       The lifeless river
      sways and flickers

    I enter the shallow

                             Enveloped in cold silver
                 stinging my bare shoulders
             Daring me to speak the words...

Finally

             I throw my arms up in despairing concession
Heeding Nature to take me back
        From an unrelentingly passionless planet

                   A soft voice whispers...
                   Shh...


                    A wisp of air snakes its way through the evergreen forest
a small breeze; slight & fragile
          But it is just enough 

I 
tilt 
  slowly, 
    but 
         fall 
                fast

My fragile form disappearing
                    beneath an iridescent blanket


Sinking, I throw my head back to gaze at the moon
   and receive a bored stare
As it gets smaller

And smaller

             And, in a flash, disappears completely.


            Now, left alone in undefiled darkness; going nowhere
I curl into a ball; shut my eyes
          
                           Drifting for eternity toward a better world.
