Serenity
Being far from life,
a heartbeat is stilled
the mortal shell is shed
as the spirit ascends.
In the absence of pain,
it's a child with the wind
formless to the world
rose bud opening
Looking at freedom
is warmth on skin
invisible scream
and hope born anew
For after the touch of death
in the binding silence
it finds itself engulfed
in serenity.
