life is a knock
death is a doorstep
though more like a coin
both sides of the same
why do some wish for it?
life without death
an endless experience
the wanting is inherently ungrateful
sometimes...
life wishes for more life
and fears death as change
to walk through the door
is to listen in silence --
after a symphony
it’s a necessary silence
the space between sounds
savor the music while it lasts
a wonder now in short supply
hear the knocks on the door
rise like the waves of the ocean surface
and play the dance in wakefulness
swing and jump but leave the door ajar
any moment now is a time to stop
its permeable like a veil
wear it for the intended occasion
but listen when the sound retracts
return to the depths of dreams
in a mystery of music alternating
mind closely and silence breeds a smile
retreat to the core of sounding silence
where the sea floor hums its tune
in peace
