Entering Eternity Poem by Nick Perritt

The air is hard to breathe
My eyes failing to see
There's music in my ears
Silence deep inside my tears.
I float through clouds of gold
Causing ripples to unfold
A wave of angel light
Full beautiful and bright.
Leaning back to upside down
The universe below
Gazing up to see the mound
A luminescent glow.
In space dreams melt inside
Bleeding inside-out minds eye
Where music stops
And darkness drops
Into sleepless minds.
Reflecting light in fire
Raining down upon my face
A cold burn of desire
To leave the human race.
Slowly floating forward
Trying not to draw in breath
My lungs cry bursting
Screaming thirsting
A slow impending death.
Eyes now look their last
On that which is fairest
Darkness swallowed fast
Inhaling gushing endless.
My skin is burning in the light
My lungs drown pleading
Lose the fight.
My body aching burning bleeding
Melting in eternal dreaming
My eyes find light
My ears hear fire
My heart feels bright
My mind sees night
My soul breathes clearer
