I Go In After Water

Small waterfall at Galena Creek Park, Reno, Nevada/ Photo by the author

Death I follow you in
Underneath the waters
 
A cavern I find my home
Leaving behind my body
I swim in the trail
The eternal stars leave
For me

To be one of them
As I have been one
With you
But my body disappointed me
Even after bringing you
Into the presence of
Divinities

Water I go down
Rushing into my new form

I have left you all behind
As life is left behind
As your body is left behind
As beauty is left behind
As wealth is left behind

All I ever was I am now
Floating after the waters
Wet with life
Even in death
