Ring! Ring! Ring!
<splish><splosh><splish> TICK tock TICK tock *sniffle*snort*sniffle* I see you all calling, on your dvices called telephones, one another to spread the word of my passing. Mouths form short words of consoling, though you are not consoled yourself. I fly down, my Wings' feathers ruffling, and touch your shoulder. They do not have telephones where I am. You shiver, but notice Me not. You wonder Why, why today? You say unto yourself, not into the receiver, "I can't believe this had to be the and." But I whisper to you "It is not." Then you brush your ear, not hearing me, yet feeling my breath, as if I were a fly. Though you so this to me, I still remain happy. I finally received my telephone call from God. The echoes of water hitting the tile floors only causes more pain in your hearts. Why do you cry so much for me? Why are you so sad? I am in a happier situation, no pain, no suffering, no saddness. I catch a teardrop that falls from your reddened eye. You only pause a second, feeling me there, feeling my smile, and stop sobbing. Yet you continue to cry silently. "Stop." "Don't." I try to reach you. Please hear me. You finally do, and look up at me. You do not see me, but hear my clothes ruffle as I wipe that saly water off my hands. Stop cyring for me. I have started a new adventure. Where no tears are allowed, nor any other terrible thing. You nod, but I see your hazel eyes begin to fog. Your day will come, and we will continue this adventure, this new, brilliant adventure, together for all eternity. Patience, my relative. Patience. I will watch. So not cry tears of sadness, only tears of joy. The clock doesn't stop ticking, even though your waterfall does. It beats the rhythm of your hearts. I have not much more time to dwell amongst you. But, need not worry, I shall keep look over you all. I will welcome you when your first clock stops ticking, and you second started. And that one shall go on forever with mine, in sync. Your tears left you in some sort of hiccups. You sob, then snort, then sniffle. Do not. Stop. Throw a party. I do not want a sad assembly to grieve of me. Don't you understand, relative, that I still am here, in some form? That I never truly will stop living? If I did, I would not be able to welcome you to the white gates. So have faith, imagine me as I am right now, flying with white wings, a white gown pressing against my fleshy soul, a golden ring around my brow, sandals of gold, and smiling. Waiting. Watching. Having the time of my life. You will understand, eventually, that this is not the close of the book, no the finish of a drawing. You will learn that death is not the end, but a beginning.
