Though it may seem a lie, I am not obsessed with death. It is a season we must too often witness and one day endure, but until it is our earthly end, I believe we should turn away from it, ever marching toward the good light through this dark and sometimes dreary world. My hope is that in the words I share, you will find the light–the light that sorrow often dims. My wish is that I might blaze a trail to help us all find the peace and comfort that is ours should we but receive it. My want is merely to love and be loved as I walk this earth with you.

There Be Silence

 

Naked she arrives, wailing

A soul, somatic, and helpless

A sylph, merely passing through

Yearning at once to depart

The seamless darkness that is this earth

Ever seeking the light

Tethered against her wishes

Between heaven and hell

Enticed by valueless riches

Yet, giving in to none

Moving each day, one turn closer

Like a howling freight train

Rushing through an underground tunnel

Toward the speck of brightness at its end

And then… there be silence
