what are we to be after death? |
| Oh, splendid amorphous nature calling my name Grandeur waits to hasten me to thy haven there With such candor I do protest ‘that is not my aim!’ Yet I feel no danger pervading the air Senses fail and all is unseen So I sail into the darkness—unkempt, and unclean! You place me still beneath both land and sea No waves, no winds carry me to places I’ll be Stillness pervades me while people above weep I wonder, still, where I have come to be. No answer arrives to which I can keep I grow weary, confused, a scorned abductee! Stolen from above; from friends and from joy I seek thee nebulous creator to rapture me free Sublime bliss and nature is too absent to employ My disregard for you was merely an earthly decree! |
