Abandon existence
Imagine, fear
An end to all joy?
An end to all cheer?
Collapse into the void
Empty, dark
Float painlessly,
Into life's spark.
Connect with all being
Infinite, true
Realize eternity,
As an essence of you.
Ignore Heaven's choir
Naive, astray
Feel the cold chill of night,
The bright pain of day.
Live and learn much
courageous, bold
Each moment as a gift,
Grow wise and grow old.
Then, abandon existence
liberated, assured
To begin once again:
The soul being cured.
