Another Phase of Life

Time and space move so differently here,
The agony and pain have subsided,
Actually my brain understands that fear
Is an illusion the living provided.
There’s no light at the end of this tunnel,
The darkness covers everything around,
There’s nothing here to make me stumble,
Just an echo that makes a faint sound.
But it’s the grief of those that are still living,
Trying to deal with departure and sorrow,
As my body withers I’m shifting,
Knowing for me there is no tomorrow.
I’ve been here before but I can’t remember,
My memories depart as my heart beat slows,
The fire is dying and I can’t feel the ember,
I feel a sense of calmness as my eyes close.
I think what used to be my body is now floating
The shakes and aches I used to feel reel in bliss,
Death is just another phase of life I’m noting,
Those around burst into tears and give me a kiss.
