UNTO THE COLD NIGHT

One day,

The day of your last breath,

And of your last words,

Lying on your last bed,

With your children all around you,

And their children,

And the shadows of all the unborn children yet to be,

Your hands in their hands,

You will go peacefully,

Unto the cold night,

The long, dark, cold night,

Toward the untold mysteries,

Knowing that a part of you

Will still lives

Inside all of them,

Under the Sun

Of the Human Archipelago.
