      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;As I listen to the night&lt;br /&gt;
In silence, in calm&lt;br /&gt;
Worries of the day pass away&lt;br /&gt;
Lights fade as I slip into shade&lt;br /&gt;
On the edge of my mind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Softly take my hand&lt;br /&gt;
Freedom is on our lips&lt;br /&gt;
Dancing in the moonlight&lt;br /&gt;
Amongst the embers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Rainbows glitter in the day&lt;br /&gt;
What gentle light waves&lt;br /&gt;
Exist in nighttime gloom&lt;br /&gt;
To cascade in gentle rays&lt;br /&gt;
Up to the crescent moon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Fireflies and feathery moths&lt;br /&gt;
Colors darkened within muted tones&lt;br /&gt;
In the still, what a thrill&lt;br /&gt;
To close your eyes&lt;br /&gt;
To slip away&lt;br /&gt;
To take the final boat ride&lt;br /&gt;
To that final place&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A final breath; a final thought&lt;br /&gt;
Hovering above me now&lt;br /&gt;
Takes its last long journey&lt;br /&gt;
Releasing into the air&lt;br /&gt;
On the periphery&lt;br /&gt;
Branching out, then rejoining there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;II&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;On the edge&lt;br /&gt;
My mind&lt;br /&gt;
Periphery&lt;br /&gt;
Not just a state or time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t know you&lt;br /&gt;
Even though you stare back&lt;br /&gt;
In my mirror&lt;br /&gt;
You appear there&lt;br /&gt;
But you are not my face&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t recognize you&lt;br /&gt;
Not a single trace&lt;br /&gt;
My life is gone now&lt;br /&gt;
I only feel an empty place&lt;br /&gt;
A bitter aftertaste&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m sinking&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes slowly&lt;br /&gt;
Other times quicker than sand&lt;br /&gt;
Into my dreams&lt;br /&gt;
In a far off land&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t feel myself&lt;br /&gt;
I don&amp;#8217;t see you&lt;br /&gt;
I can&amp;#8217;t even talk without mumbling&lt;br /&gt;
Incoherent&lt;br /&gt;
Thoughts askew&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class='caps'&gt;III&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Who will I be&lt;br /&gt;
When life ends&lt;br /&gt;
No longer human&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly a cherished&lt;br /&gt;
Or a departed friend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Who will I become&lt;br /&gt;
When thoughts are all to remain&lt;br /&gt;
Firing neurons stop&lt;br /&gt;
The heart ceasing to pump&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Can a thought carry on forever&lt;br /&gt;
Outside the mind&lt;br /&gt;
Printed on a page; written online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;IV&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;So my soul should finally leave&lt;br /&gt;
Like a butterfly dancing in a tree&lt;br /&gt;
Exiting its cocoon&lt;br /&gt;
To fly floating into the wind&lt;br /&gt;
Beautiful; free again&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Then will there be light or will all be dark&lt;br /&gt;
The current world replaced&lt;br /&gt;
To what end or what waste&lt;br /&gt;
Will that eternal periphery of life embrace&lt;/p&gt;</description>
