To die

One last breath,

Take a leap into,

Who knows what or where.

One almighty brave step, / the leap of the warrior.

Maybe that 's enough

To cross the void.

It's worth the try.

No time to wonder why,

One last sigh.

One Last  cry, loud enough to ring  through out the universe.

And  the mysterious reply is

the ‘sound of silence.’

Inside the silence resides the gem of the one,

The mysterious ‘one and the all.’

Detach the body,

to see ‘only mind.’

Maybe take the choice to leave, even this behind.

To take the silence and remain vividly aware,

break all bonds, severe all the chains.

And be only’ pure love,’ in loves own refrain.

Or maybe choose the road of the mind.

Remember here too is love!

More time to love, more growing to come,

more time to touch yet again, the ones you love.

Through the bridge of love,

I am always with you my beloved, right by your side.

I'll be thinking of you now and

For all time,

For all time.
