I...

I...

Have seen...

The essence of my soul...

And I...

I...

Have known,

The beating of my heart...

For I am more,

than I once was...

or I could ever dream...

My spirit ascends,

to leave this frail shell,

whilst my body lay on the earth...

A kaleidoscope of colours before my eyes...

Whilst I drift amongst the stars...

All the chaos, death and strife

of the human kind...

Discarded into nothingness...

I...

I...

Have seen...

The essence of my soul...

And I...

I...

Have known,

The beating of my heart...

For aeons I dwell...

In the celestial gardens...

Whilst my body lays on the earth,

and rots beneath the sun...

A kaleidoscope of colours

before my eyes...

As the deafening heartbeat turns to silence...

Silence.

Adrift, amongst the stars,

these I have known...

on this journey through life,

for they are I,

and I are they:

Solitude and peace.

Courage and strength.

Pride...

These I have known,

for they are I.

Solitude.

Strength.

Courage.

Pride.

Spirit.
