If I am to die
let this be the day,
so that I may
remember eternity.
If I am to pass
this pain in the ass
is more lovingly viewed
as uncertainty.
For to die is to know
that the self is just flow,
and that focus can still
get the best of me.
This beautiful life,
imagined through strife,
so that I may remember
my destiny.
To return to the void
where I seem to begin
and the grace of not knowing
blesses me.
As I loosen my grip
and let all meaning slip,
the forgetting of everything
is ecstasy.

If the moment of my departure draws near,
Let it be today, so I may embrace
The eternity that awaits in my remembrance.
Should I transcend this realm,
This troublesome existence,
I shall perceive it with newfound tenderness,
For it reveals the essence of uncertainty.
For in death, I shall comprehend
That the self is but a current,
And even in the face of transition,
Focus can still enthrall me.
This life, so exquisitely crafted,
Born from the crucible of strife,
Exists to etch my destiny
Into the fabric of my being.
To return to the void,
Where I seemingly commence,
And to revel in the gentle grace
Of blissful ignorance.
As I relinquish my grasp,
Allowing all meaning to slip away,
The act of forgetting everything
Becomes a rapturous ecstasy.
