The Beginning

Death.

My soul awakens,
Fluid dimensions engulf my energy—
Draw me into a warming presence.

My aura of sight restored,
I perceive a vibrant halo which
encircles specks of fire.

I feel my spirit drifting
amidst the globes---
I sense their utter familiarity.

Through weightless language 
They call unto me,
Vibrating rhythms of fervent regard.

My ancestors.

In exquisite recognition,
I fuse myself with their vitality---
Surrendering myself as one,
bequeathing myself to communal fire.

Our light dances beyond darkness,
 undulating purpose, love, and eternity.

I celebrate my rest;
And the return to the stellar peace
From which I came.
