Current Sensation

Even though we have been preparing for these times our whole lives,

Still the somatic shock is reverberating within each cell of being,

In echo of that chime of time passed,

Futures coalescing,

Opportunity crushed up against perpetuity.

The final 3 pieces of a multidimensional, trans-lifetime puzzle,

Held in the palm of humanity’s hands.

The pause,

Here, now,

Before leaning in, and placing them,

Slowly, deliberately, mindfully into place.

Aware that they are a final act,

A last commentary,

A terminal contribution.

Then comes :The relief of not having to struggle to remain

The grief of not being permitted to witness the closing scenes

Versus the sweet softness of a lost loved one’s lips On a forehead,

Pressing out the last exhalation

As they scoop our liberated spirit up to infinity
