The Time has Come
September 1, 2008
I feel myself
Falling
Slowly, gently, as though I were being lowered
Being caught by strong arms
My brother's arms
Someone is screaming
My face feels wet
I look up
His tears fall on my cheeks
Don't cry, I say in silence. I will see you again
Thoughts...come...slower...now
I look at the sky
The clouds break open
Sunlight streams down.
It warms my face.
I smile
My eyes close...slowly
And I am gone.
