My heart is at peace tonight.

Floating on top of the deepest waters is my body as it gently moves about, directed by the gleaming blood moon presented by the skies above.

The drizzling rainfall waters my body cleansing my sins...,

Pitter-patter pitter-patter...,the sound of drops hitting the waters which unhurriedly pushes me away from sight.

Hymns are chanted while a call of death is recited in honor of a fallen soul.

Bold is I during the time of death without a scare.

The fall of leaves from tall trees on my motionless body as children race along the river shore shouting their excitement like watching small wooden boats floating and dancing on waves while washed away by the water.

Torture yourself not with sorrow beloveds,
for
We all live on borrowed time...,

Heaven or Hell?.....I do not know where my soul shall lie...,

Bye for now and let the waters carry me away
