A JOURNEY

By Vincent Valentine

For quite some time I sit only and ponder

For I feel this end is near

All the facets of this time I picture

Joining them in thoughts unclear

My mind wanders; a brilliant light I view

To the heavens I ascend

Forever higher, till the end I reach

Of the time once mine, in the world broken-hearted

And from my body, spirit has departed, and does escape

It’s once shell-like world to a world unending

To the dream of dream sublime

From the end, the end of time

From a cherished possession now not mine

Now from me is taken and has become thine
