Arbiter of Time - Means End

My mind meanders like a river

Through green valleys

Searching fervently for truth

In far distant places

Though I need only look as far as my heart to find both truth and delusion

Too close for comfort

One day these bones will rest in grass, salted by the tears of my family

Serenaded by the wind

Then forgotten like last night’s dream…

I’ll be the harbinger of darkness

Let me bring you the fear that can be found in a handful of dust

What you have to realize

Is that you die every single day

When you lay your head to sleep

And everything disappears

Where do you go?

How do you know?

Are you sad that you have to

End it so soon?

Yes, this is the end

Will you refuse to go back to sleep

Now that you can never wake up again?

Would you have lived your last day differently?

I’ll be the arbiter of time

Our birth is nothing but our death begun

What a ridiculous notion

To hold life so precious

As if it had some intrinsic value

Beyond what is important to us subjectively;

instinctively

All we can do is

Enjoy the Means, End suffering

And not dwell on these things too much

Death will blanket us all in the end
