~Existence~

Life after death - For the challenge : Stream of consciousness

By KodahPublished about a year ago 1 min read

If you wish — we can sink into the sky

Forget rules and be infinite as galaxies

Or be an entire planet, sleeping through life.

Until time now, you wake up

A galaxy around you where voices quiet down

Echoes of wars ceasing their conflict

Souls unfurl

Like a cosmic petal—sublime and radiant

Drifting in the aether of what once was?

Or does it dissolve when your soul flees...

Time's river ceases to flow

Stars igniting in forgotten constellations—reflecting off the ocean's bliss

A silent oeuvre of the beyond

Over the realms of dreams

Planets of unknown beings.

I look at my hands—I'm still alive

In the free air of dimensions unseen

Eternal breeze and solace in the mystery

There is a quiet space between the hollow breaths,

An essence of my own wandering

A rhythm of restless wonder

Where the echoes of infinity softly whisper

And I listen—

Ever so closely, to the symphony of now~
