"I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world" - "When Death Comes", Mary Oliver
My soul is still an empty basket in which I
still need to fill with the experiences in life I don’t
know of yet, but I am willing to want
more than anything and anyone else to
see what happens when I reach it, the end.
I wonder which path I will travel on, perhaps up
or perhaps down, it doesn’t matter. Beyond this existence is simply
something I will never understand until having
the liberty, the pleasure of knowing I have visited
the end of our beautiful home. I am relieved with this
being my last and longest breath in this world.
