Death Interpretation Poem by Nick Perritt

There is no sleep for the dead
No life for the living
No joy in breathing
No pain in bleeding.
So sleep now for tomorrow we die
But death is an awakening
To lie down the beginning
To fly is reality
To try futility
To cry insanity
To die infinity!
From slumbering inside the womb,
To lying down inside this tomb
Of life illusions,
Mind pollution
God confusion
Dream infusions.
This thought regurgitation
Sightless separation
Death interpretation
Life is ever ending!
Purple haze hallucinations
Silver cloud imaginations.
A colorful world behind my eyes, where immortality dies!
When I gaze into stars twinkling eyes
A void is filled inside my mind
With dreams and visions, revelations
Memories before these constellations.
When do I stop dreaming and just start living
When can I stop doubting and begin believing
That this life is the beginning
that life is never ending
I'm just eternally day dreaming
Eternity of lucid living
Of selfless giving
Soul perfecting
Cloud inhaling
Mind awakening!
The mountains in the sky beckon me ever on
And pull me through stardust into oblivion
Drifting between nebulae and sun showers
Feel awe in Gods everlasting power.
Now sweetly silent…
Now death defiant!
Awakening in blinding light
I've overcome deaths cold embrace
Transformed my weary sleepless soul
From atrophy to happiness
Eternally happy
Eternally living
Eternally flying
Eternally giving
An ocean of stars behind my eyes, tells me I'm alive
Now to sleep or to awake, I cannot decide…
