Between sleep, asleep humanity
going indifferent in giving up,
parading along the life
as a hypnotized procession.
But escaping to this destination,
decided to change their own luck,
chose the only way beautiful
to enjoy death in enchantment.
Left everything, heroically,
without looking backwards, not even for a moment,
changed the indifferent world
for a feverish exciting romance.
Transformed the sleep into fantasy
with passion in oblation of a rite,
penetrated the brown earth
a cemetery in love of infinite.

Author notes
Prompt: ** "Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”
~Oscar Wilde
------------
>>>Continued from above<<<
Connected, to forever joined,
in a foreign solitary idyll,
prepared a trip towards the nature
in a grassy imaginary effort.
And in playfulness for the game,
together they celebrate the last day
towards the point in which an aching soul
sinks in the serene tranquility of peace.
