Here, Now, Forever

Take it.
We have all slowly realizing...
How long can you be with the all,
before you have to go back, eh?
Or... or... what gives anyway?!?!?!
Why do you fear someone who has never dared to step into the shining light of your stare?
If there something deeper, much deeper, beyond our comprehension of the relative universe,
Beyond our comprehension... rendering our talk "cheap".
Now, c'mon now.
I know for certain whats out there waiting for us once we pass the gates of death.
Continuance. Steadfast eternal continuance into the neglected realm of NOW.
Your dreams will come true:=--

Beneath your shrouds,
Proclaimed aloud.
Under a glowing, waiting moon.
A bitter thirst, that hurts the worst.
Merely swept away by another love monsoon.
A girl so mere. A love to fear.
Her compassion sheds my tears.
I try to run, but her love has won.
And one day the dreams will come.
One day our dreams will burst forth, more vivid and sublime that you could have EVER IMAGINED.
Borne from all the places your overlooked--

Grave memorial.
Hewn white stone.
Like the comforting caress of a mother,
Or a friend you've always known.
It envokes such pain and significance.
What once was faded to remembrance,
AND THE GENERATIONS PASS WITHOUT RECOMPENSE!!

For this I now cry for thee....

Things are going to change, my dear.

FEAR NOT DEATH,
IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN TO YOU
