Requiem

Dark night of the soul
Ends in a long breath.
The tight clenched fist
Opens, time runs out.
Things once precious
People dearly loved.

All are dust, stardust.

Dark night of the soul
Overset by doubt and fear.
The tight clenched heart
Releases, life rushes in.
Ghosts of time past
And time present.

All are light, starlight.

Dark night of the soul
A dim hidden lamp.
The tight clenched mind
Empties, offers itself.
Thought, senses
Fade into nothing.

All are light, dust, nothing.
