Sea of Death, Shores of Rebirth

Here I lie
Upon the beaches of white
The sand beneath my naked soul
Unprotected, unguarded, unspoiled
Pure as the moonlight that bathes me in its glow
And the water as it laps my nonexistent feet

Just another night on the beach
Glowing, white sand; clear, blue sea
Where all life ends
And new souls begin
All around me are the others
Lying as peacefully as I
Waiting to be chosen
To return to the land of light, of living
The place where we feel pain and pleasure
Where we cry tears of sorrow and joy
And where we shall spend another lifetime
In a cage, a body
Made of flesh and bone
So tightly knit
Not even the smallest hole to use as means of escape

And when we die
We are completed- whole
But we can no longer stay with the living
And our cage of flesh is cast back
Back into the sea
Into the waters that represent death- completion
And we find our way back
Back to the sandy beaches where it all began

The sea- it glitters so
In every wave there is another cage- corpse
And with it comes the soul's last thoughts- last feelings
The fleeting memories it had- gone
Swallowed by the sea
The soul- recycled

Another wave of uncontrolled emotions
Leaves another washed up corpse
On the white, sandy shore
Where it lies and will be buried beneath the grains of death
And be lost to the living world

The soul will rise up
To join us on the beach
Further away from the tide
Away from the waters of death
And lie upon the shores of rebirth
Again, it is incomplete
